Fireflies Take Flight Lyrics - Singles - Ed Harcourt

Oh beware of bleeding lung 

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
