Lyric

I found your name in moss

Under fern and pine

Folded in the bark

Like it had been mine

The pond held one gold spark

Then a second, then a glow

Little lanterns waking

Where the shadow lanes run slow

And the dark got kind

At the edge of the trees

You were almost there

In the hush between leaves

Fireflies spell your name

Fireflies spell your name

Soft as summer rain

Still it stays the same

Fireflies spell your name

On my windowpane

I read it again

And again

The foxglove leaned in close

Like it knew the tune

Moth-wing silk and midnight

Pouring off the moon

I traced your name in air

With my fingers, slow and sure

And every tiny light

Made the meaning pure

Now the night unfolds

Like a velvet page

You arrive in gold

And you never quite age

Fireflies spell your name

Fireflies spell your name

Soft as summer rain

Still it stays the same

Fireflies spell your name

On my windowpane

I read it again

And again

If I lose the path

Let the lanterns lead

If I lose my breath

Let the woods repeat

One bright letter at a time

Till the whole world turns to flame

And the little dark between us

Learns to say your name

Fireflies spell your name

Fireflies spell your name

Soft as summer rain

Still it stays the same

Fireflies spell your name

On my windowpane

I read it again

And again

Fireflies spell your name

Fireflies spell your name

And the night remains

With your name in it
