#8. Fireflies by Gino Di Nunno published on 2023-06-12T15:42:37Z Fireflies (G. Di Nunno) He felt he could die now that he's seen Cooperstown Which looks so beautiful in the fall Everything quite expensive, maxed-out credit cards He knew someday his ex-wife would call. Hand out for money, yet he wants to see the stars Dream again as he did when at twelve Put off dying until he sees the Grand Canyon Another souvenir on the shelf. Chorus: Gotta water the roses, wanna watch something grow Gotta see the kids, can't wait until tomorrow Have to feed the dog, can't ignore those sad eyes Day soon done, and the night Gives way to fireflies. Beating the blues with an approach to her front door The lights are out, guess nobody's home Chat room banter fills the small void before bedtime Can't see a face, but he's not alone. Relationships are hard but having no one is worse And searching for someone takes too long Once angry with the world, but now he's got a best friend Just searching for a place to belong. Repeat chorus: Glanced through high school yearbooks when he used to be cool Era now dust from a dashboard view Everything's a memory depending on recall Can't help himself finding a clue. Face in the mirror isn't what it used to be In pace with the watch hands moving around Having so much to do before the doors get closed Jump in the car and see another town. Repeat chorus: All lyrics and performance by Gino Di Nunno Copyright 2000, 2023. Genre #AltCountry#Cowpunk Comment by Joe Stroffolino This is really great.
