"Firefly Lullaby"

wooden dock and a motorboat
sun beating down as we swim and we float
in the cold winter water under the pier
hormones with gasoline and plenty of beer

but the moon is rising and nestled high
as lightning bugs start to light up the sky
glowing softly in the dark
give her a spark they seem to remark

so close your eyes, sweetheart of mine
rest your head, all is fine

just you and me and my guitar gazing up at a fleeting star
listen darling as I, sing to you a firefly lullaby

bugs aren’t romantic this I know
but seeing you smile makes me glow
out on the raft, water like glass
rocking to sleep on the waves that pass

so close your eyes, sweetheart of mine
rest your head, all is fine

just you and me and my guitar gazing up at a fleeting star
listen darling as I, sing to you a lullaby
listen darling as I, sing to you a firefly lullaby
