Ed Harcourt - Fireflies Take Flight lyrics

and bugs that eat their young

The demons in your head

The wolves under your bead

The bones of dinosaurs

hidden below the floors

They rattle and they shake

and make the sound that...

Wakes me up most every night

Breaks me softly

Fireflies take flight

The sandman you must trust

he sprinkles golden dust

The howling of the owl

makes me sleepwalk on clouds

A thousand pianos play

I still hear them the next day

A barrel full of snakes

they make the sound that...

Wakes me up most every night

Breaks me softly

Fireflies take flight

The thorn that stays so firmly in my side

These fireflies leave me behind

The bones of dinosaurs

hidden below the floors

They rattle and they shake

and make the sound that...

Wakes me up most every night

Breaks me softly

Fireflies...

Wakes me up most every night

Breaks me softly

Fireflies take flight
