about

This song is about the loss of dark skies and fireflies where we have urban and suburban light pollution. A lot of kids are growing up who may never see the wonders of a firefly or the Milky Way.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
On a cool fall night,
In moonlight's soft embrace.
Our disappearing nature,
Is leaving an empty space.

There’s a gentle surprise,
Flashes of guiding light.
Telling stories of love,
They harmonize.

CHORUS
Out of darkness of the night
Lights the sky…Firefly
Flying through dancing shadows,
Is a love so bright…Firefly

VERSE 2
The city glow stole the stars,
from our children’s sight,
The Milky Way remains unseen.
We’ve lost our dark sky night

There’s a gentle surprise,
Flashes of guiding light.
Telling stories of love,
They harmonize.

CHORUS

VERSE 3
The Milky Way remains unseen.
We’ve lost our dark sky night
The city glow stole the stars,
from our children’s sight

CHORUS REPEATS and FADE-OUT

Here's a shout out for my friend Bill Davis in Palm Harbor FL who got me interested in guitar over 40 years ago when we were in high school. He has been my technical consultant and another "ear" for these recent home recording projects.
