Meter fare sounds cold as rust tonight Headlights count the bugs outside Rusted gate still swings beneath the moon I hear your laughter in the radio [Pre- Wind combs silver through the wire Old dashboard keeps a steady fire Somewhere past the county line That field begins to shine Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Floating where the quiet lies Streetlights fade as midnight passes I see you dancing in my eyes Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Carrying what neither of us names Down the dark the summer carries Little lights that feed our flames Coffee goes bitter in a steel cup Seat springs creak beneath the weight of rain Every long road wears the same tracks up Every lost mile sounds the same [Pre- Radio hums a faded chorus Distant thunder grumbles off the hills I brake beside the old fence Two bright sparks beyond the lens Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Floating where the quiet lies Streetlights fade as midnight passes I see you dancing in my eyes Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Holding wishes I cannot state Past the dark the summer carries Little lights the years invite Dawn will find our footprints tangled deep Milkweed bowing by the rail You left laughter where the grasses sleep I leave questions by the trail [Pre- Engine ticks like patience failing Window fog recalls your name Out beyond the headlights paling A thousand sparks become a flame Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Softly through the midnight air Old words sleep inside the blackness Half remember being there Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Every spark a word unspoken Past the dark the summer carries All the roads I might have taken Years have worn the vinyl down Same old turn takes me downtown Rains have washed my routes from town Still that field waits somewhere around [Pre- Children laugh beyond the river Frogs keep time beneath the grass You and I stand in the weather Holding seasons as they pass Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Glowing through the years between Countless roads have crossed and passed But none shine quite as clean Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Lighting what the daylight hides Past the dark the summer carries Love beneath the turning tides I still park where cedar shadows fall Engine cooling in the clay You would laugh and light another spark I would tell you not to go away [Pre- Morning leans against the dashboard Dew burns off the waking field Every road I drove this far Brought me back where we are still Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Floating through the afterglow All the words I never crossed All the things I should have known Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Tiny lights that divide the dark Past the road the summer carries One small spark inside my heart Fireflies drift over unmowed grass Burnishing the places we have been As the quiet turns to morning I will find the field again Headlights fade behind the road Leaves the night with all it holds One bright spark beneath the rain One bright spark that knows my name
