Oh, the fireflies in the Ozarks at Camp Zoe, PSG 2009!
Firefly came to visit last night
Dressed up all in silvery light
She flickered through my fire
And decided that she'd stay
She spied the drum there at my feet
And said, "My love, would you play for me?"
Well, she and I and fire made three
So I said I'd find a way
Flicker and flame, flicker and flame
I said I'd find a way
I tapped my drum just to hear her tone
But I never did like to play alone
But my hand found a doom
And my fingers rat-a-tat
And the song began to play
Flicker and flame, flicker and flame
The song began to play
Firefly danced and rode the flame
And I watched the stars do much the same
The trees stood still
But I swear I heard applause
Firefly asked if she could join in
And I said, "Whenever you'd like to begin."
She cleared her throat and checked her light
And then a dramatic pause
She flickered on and then she flickered off ...
Then she flickered back on with a little cough
She took a sip of my wine then we traded off
Till the night turned into day
Flicker and flame, flicker and flame
Till the night turned into day
Then we said goodbye and we rubbed our eyes
And she flew away with her silvery light
And I hope to see her again some night
If I ever come back this way
Flicker and flame, flicker and flame
If I ever come back this way
Flicker and flame, flicker and flame
If I ever come back this way
Flicker and flame, flicker and flame
If I ever come back this way
