Fireflies

from Songs Vienna by Mark Geary

/

lyrics

I was born a sigh my life
A lonely little lie.
Help me see the paths concealed
Colossal in the lie

At night we watch the fireflies
Courageously we learn to lie

All the leaves the autumn freeze
Are running out of light
Afraid, in awe
What faith in store
Of promises, come on, come out

May you always be the rising star

Safe for weeks, the prophet speaks
With prophecies, no one believes
It’s not your fault, the curtain call
Abandoned on your knees

At night we watch the fireflies
Courageously, we learn to lie

I was born a sigh
My life, a lonely little lie
May you always be the rising star

All aboard, the captain calls
For honour we are here tonight
It’s not your cause, the brave men call
It’s better not to try
Was it only for your charity?

Mark Geary Dublin, Ireland

Irish singer-songwriter Mark Geary's sound is stripped back. His lyrics cut to the core revealing a life laid bare of human frailty, failed relationships, tenderness, grief and hurt.

Current single Spectre is hauntingly beautiful with layers of guitars. Written from a place of forgiveness and understanding.

The Forest is exquisite. A beautiful sound, its quietness is evocative. ... more
