Just when I needed a friend, I heard a call from where you are Getting full, like children soaring onto the promised star But it was no more than a firefly in the night And it was no more than a firefly in the night Lining me still I heard a far off voice, and I was easily led Wading deep through waters where these hopes could fill my head But it was no more than a firefly in the night And it was no more than a firefly in the night Lining me still And I struck dumb, for now your heart is only numb And when the numbness there is done, you'll find it broken Locked in this vanishing space, I never thought of escape Searching on for answers, and then I thought I saw your face But it was no more than a firefly in the night And it was no more than a firefly in the night Lining me still, but I still fly Lining me still Lining me still
