Devendra Banhart - Fireflies Lyrics

Devendra Banhart Lyrics

"Fireflies"

A trail of light from a firefly
Is a song that's playing
Just a song that's playing

We had a lot of dreams that went by
Just a song that we were singing
Just a song that we were singing

When I said I wasn't leaving
That's when I knew that I was leaving

Night after night
Night after night

I had a lot of time to make it worse
I know you tried to get near
Was a song I just couldn't hear

See you in a stranger's eyes
And there's so much I wish I could say
Just a song I'll sing anyway

When I said I wouldn't need it
That's when I knew that I would need it

Night after night
Night after night
