Lightning Bugs Lyrics
All morning Darien's been blue, nary a cloud in the sky
From here your daddy's fields stretch out fifteen acres long and wide
One minute swaying wheat the next, quills on a bristling porcupine
Now he's coming toward the porch rail, no place out here you can hide
Lightning bugs at twilight, that's how the stars shine for you
No apparent rhyme or reason, no one can hold them still for you
Your fear of needles won't help, baby, keep that animal at bay
Oh you want that field to lie still more than you could ever say
But daddy's six feet underground and mama don't like country life
And now you couldn't tell your high from low if you could stick it with a knife
Lightning bugs at twilight, that's how the stars shine for you
No apparent rhyme or reason, no one can hold them still
They should be brighter, you could see clearer
Bring what you want a little nearer
But now they're moving in zig-zag fashion

They're still eluding, you want to smash them
New York skyline's not the same, the searchlight sends it's magic beam
Now your daddy'll never leave your side. Things aren't always what they seem
Lightning bugs at twilight, that's how the stars shine for you
No apparent rhyme or reason, I wish I could hold them still for you
