Fleetwood Mac
"Fireflies"

music and lyrics by Stevie Nicks

To be the last to leave
The last to be gone
Stolen from the ones who held on to it
To be the last in line
Oh the ones that live on
Silhouette of a dream
Treasured by the ones who held on to it

Almost a breakdown of our love affair
The stiletto cuts quick
Like a whip through the air
Long distance winners
Will we survive the flight
Not one of us runs from the firelight

I would love to believe
I believe what you say
In the drama of the moment
Oh no, there is no easy way
No one ever leaves
Everyone stays close till the fire fades

I would love to believe
I believe what you say
In the drama of the moment
For us there is no easy way
No one ever leaves
Everyone stays close till the fire fades

To be the last to leave
What caused the fearsome divorce in the night
There was no competition
To survive do it right
You believe in the five
To survive the distance
Everyone fights
Everyone fights
And the fire flies

At the risk of my feelings
We are dreamers in the night
Some call it my nightmare
My five fireflies
Like a sailing ship
Not one of us runs

Of our love affair
Like a whip through the air
I would love to believe
I believe what you say
