Firefly Lyrics by Fates Warning

Darkness in a Different Light

2013

[Verse 1]
There, in the silence of the night
I see you shine
Drifting down to me, drift down to me
Is this how it's supposed to be?

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you stay, will you go?
Again, this time, how far?
Then you take, and you're gone
No longer need to wait here anymore

[Chorus]
Fly, far away
I won't regret at all
Not asking you to stay
And I can't make you understand
As I close my empty hand

[Verse 2]
And as I stand here
Watching stars go shooting by
A thought comes to me, it comes to me
This is how it's supposed to be

[Chorus]
Fly, far away
I won't regret at all
Not asking you to stay
And I can't make you understand
As I close my empty hand

[Bridge]
And as night turns to day
Alone now I walk away
And as time changes
Your light fades into the gray

[Instrumental Break & Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you stay, will you go?
Again, this time, how far?
Then you take, and you're gone
No longer need to wait here anymore

[Chorus]
Fly, far away
I won't regret at all
Not asking you to stay
And I can't make you understand
As I close these empty hands
