Goodnight little firefly, dancing under the cover of a warm night; humming a little song that sounds like springtime. In this way it seems, you’ve washed my eyes clean with your light. I said farewell to California and denied these arms that longed to hold you
and from Kodiak down to Patagonia I have seen your face in every hidden place that I have moved on from. I blew out my candle and wandered up the coastline towards Seattle my plans and dreams all left in shambles and without a light to follow I fought the most hollow of all battles. Now I'm still just a sinner, chest-deep in some eternal river and the stars start to shake and shiver. When my heart caves in, its all I want then is to be nearer. But these memories turn gray in time like the words of poet that speaks by doesn't write and the hardest things left to say are left out in the cold or buried in a grave. The boats keep leaving and the boats keep coming and the song keeps playing and the heart keeps drumming. The sun keeps sailing across the blue ocean ceiling, behind black clouds sinking of whose tears that I'm always stealing and whose sorrow that I have seen in the hours I'm always drinking and in the thoughts that I’m not thinking and in the song that I'm not singing and in the words I am not saying and in the prayers I am not praying and in the word I am not seeking and in the love I am not giving and in the God that I'm not seeing but somehow, still, still believing in the hope that he will find me here.
