Firefly

waiting for you
to see me
all alone
in this place -
floating in outer space.

I've changed my mind.
Put out the light.

I closed my eyes
I waited for
a different sign.

I'll never send this message.

I'll never be
what you

have been.

So I'll say goodbye
and I'll set
my controls
for the endless night.
And I'll pray for you -
to slowly
fade away and die
until you are no more
than
a distant firefly.

I search for footprints
of the angels
in the dust
that follows me.
In the eyes of every stranger
I look for you.
I look for you.

And one day when I'm
strung out...
one day I'll walk in
your shoes.

'Till then I pray for you
to slowly
fade away and die
Until you are no more
than
a distant firefly.
