Firefly

Strolling through the shady grove

Half a country mile through the redwood glen

The squirrels they were jumping

As daylight comes to rest upon nature's sweet caress

Fireflies mark my way

Ancient constellations up high above the nation

Let's have a conversation by and by

Some for you and some for me

And I wander through the trees

Ain't got no worries on my mind

Whoa-ho-oh

I heard it all on the radio

Whoa-ho-oh

Leave it all behind

And the thunder's rolling gently

Rolling smoothly through the trees

Of a Georgia midnight river

Daisy, Daisy, what a gal

She lives up on the hill

You wouldn't know from looking that she's feeling kinda ill

As she dances with the children

In the lilies and the rain

Gonna make believe there's nothing to complain

Well often is the case

You find a stranger in a place

Living out the life you left behind

So wade into the streams

That lead you to your dreams

And the fireflies will mark your way

Whoa-ho-oh

I heard it all on the radio

Whoa-ho-oh

Leave it all behind

And the thunder's rolling gently

Rolling smoothly through the trees

Of a Georgia midnight river

John, John, did you roll wrong

To find your way into my song?

Every now and then your sign reads "Open"

Collecting pieces of the past

I try to make it last

Vinyl records play a song all day

Yes, it's quite a pleasant sight

You fireflies at night

Illuminate my soul with your conviction

Oh, I think I'll close my eyes

And open to the skies

Thunder guide me down to the river

Whoa-ho-oh

I heard it all on the radio

Whoa-ho-oh

Just leave it all behind

And the thunder's rolling gently
