Fireflies Into The Sun

On and on like a hurricane
closed eyes in the stinging rain
one and one like a bride and groom
green smile and a crying loon
I think I felt love too soon

Like fireflies into the sun
a baptism of light for everyone
everyone whose hearts are one
anyway
anyday rain will disappear
'round me, spring will abound in me
and I'll fall into the sun without fear

I want to smell berries in the night
I want my hands to cling to your hips
to see me all right
pretty smile, please carve me with your lips
'cause I want to feel more
as I walk out this door
and let the night cut my skin
just to let a little moon in

Like fireflies into the sun
a light like I've never done
in song or in poem
couldn't say
wouldn't stray
from the true beauty that lies there
I wanna brush it from your hair
and press it to my mind
so I can imprison the time
T.S. Eliot lives again
cut me open to let the words in

It comes like a summer lawn
and goes like a winter dawn
I've great company
in the starless Arctic sea
that freezes all the wonder out of me
to fall back into your gaze like a firefly
neon city under that violet sky
so very lovely tonight

Like fireflies into the sun
love spins the chamber in the gun
every little beat of my heart is done
I'm impaled on a rose
so here goes:
give to me all autumn and pearls
wring out of me the verbal symphony
you deliciously vicious red haired girl

On and on like a summer night
over and over like a strobe light
behind my eyes there's hope
hang the coat and cut the rope
just let a little moon into me
this city really is quite lovely
under creamy skies
like me, the sun and fireflies

"Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite and I don't know why" -- Van Morrison, 'Sweet Thing'
