Lyrics Fireflies Take Flight - Ed Harcourt

Fireflies Take Flight

Oh beware of bleeding lung
And bugs that eat their young
The demons in your head
The wolves under your bed
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
