Song For The Fireflies Lyrics - Josh Ritter

After all the lights had died 

Out behind the palisades park 

Fireflies remembered to do 

Exactly what they were supposed to 

And memories were like coins that tumbled 

Somersaulting through the deep 

Down every well we threw them in 

Until they came to the top again 

And out like the sun 

In your hair, in your hair

Every month that ends its spin 

Is picked up by the moon for keeping 

Clean and safe from accidents 

Sheltered from the elements 

But June is like an echo 

Of the sounds we never made 

I swear they find me in my waking hours 

Thirty days like poison flowers 

The wind in your hair 

Like a sigh, like a sigh 

Photos 

With intermittent rain and shine 

The sky re-started six or seven times 

It's blue because it sees 

All our infidelities 

We both know that it's been so long 

I'm not sure what to say so I hope 

Fireflies remember to do exactly what it was they used to
