We are all
Fireflies in jars
I'll set you free
You promised me
But we are all
Fireflies in jars

Like quicksilver
Running down your spine
An endless dance
Flowers in your mind
Stop pulling at threads
You can't rewind
I'll set you free
Sometime

Computers whirr in the quiet dim of dawn
Like digital sprinklers on virtual lawns
The modern pulse is no longer a drum
Just the ceaseless driven electrical hum
Of the synaptic links we've become
I'll set you free
You promised me
But we are all
Fireflies in jars

Lilac and Sweet Clover

Lilac and sweet clover
And damson red
Fireflies dancing
Way over your head

You can't catch the summer
And hold it to ransom
You can only run after it
As it dances away
In a cloud of
Lilac and sweet clover
And damson red
Fireflies dancing
Way over your head

And I think we were friends
If I recall those days
When the lights were dancing
Way over our heads
Tears teach us to be human
Laughter sweeter than wine
Years run like water
It's all just a matter of time

You can't catch the summer
And hold it to ransom
You can only run after it
As it dances away
In a cloud of
Lilac and sweet clover
And damson red
Fireflies dancing
Way over your head

Lilac and sweet clover
And damson red
Fireflies dancing
Way over your head
