The Firefly and the Snake Songtext
von Cloud Cult

In the middle of the night
I woke up outside the kitchen window
Staring in at a replay of my days
And something tells me I can′t come back again

From there I watched my life
I looked back on myself but didn't recognize him
Ashamed to believe I could ever be that way
Then I saw you light a candle in my name

In the morning I awoke and came to life again
One more chance to finally make a change

You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don′t ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down
Some lights were never meant to be turned out


When the snake sheds its old skin
It looks back on itself but doesn't recognize it
Ashamed to believe it could ever be that way
So it attacks it out of fear and disdain

You and I built a fire
From the parts of us we never wanna see again
And we watched it burn all night despite the rain
In the morning most our dragons still were not slain

So we reached out our hands and made them friends
One more chance to finally make a change

You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don't ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down

You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don′t ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down
Some lights were never meant to be turned out
