Firefly In The Night - Rupert Hine

Just when I needed a friend

I heard a call from where you are

Guiding fools like children

Soaring on to the promised star

But it was no more than a firefly in the night

But it was no more than a firefly in the night

Blinding me still

I heard a far-off voice

And I was easily led

Wading deep through waters

Where these hopes could fill my head

But it was no more than a firefly in the night

But it was no more than a firefly in the night

Blinding me still

And though struck dumb for now

Your heart is only numb

But when the numbness there is done

You’ll find it broken

Locked in this vanishing space

I never thought of escape

Searching on for answers

Then I thought I saw your face

But it was no more than a firefly in the night

But it was no more than a firefly in the night

Blinding me still

Lost in flight
