Fireflies
By Randy Adams
My Pretty Thief

Looking for a little light

Waiting on the moon to rise

You never know what you might find
In a field of fireflies


We are walking
Out among the weeds

Hear the water

The whispering of reeds

Feel the bluebells
Underneath our feet

What's the chance that I would find you?

Looking for a little light too



Looking for a little dark

A raven and a meadowlark

You never know what you might find
In a field of fireflies


In the water

We are ripples on the edge

I will taste you

Sweet apple blossom red

I will touch you

With the talons of my hear
t
What's the chance that I would find you?

Looking for a little darkness too



Looking for a little love

Counting every star above

You never know what you might find
 In a field of fireflies.


Lightning Post
By Randy Adams
My Pretty Thief


Lightning on the lightning post

You’re the one I love the most

Dancing in the Sun

Shining through the cotton pressed against your skin


Through the thunder wind and rain

We are walking hand in hand

Mud between our toes

Laughing as we nudge each other down the lane



I will not wait

While the storming heart of Summer is exploding in your eyes



Dry your hair off in the Sun

Let your buttons come undone

Lean in for a kiss

Fragile as the string I tied around your wrist



I will not wait

While the stormy heart of Summer is exploding in your eyes


Sweet as you are

Siding with me

Sweet as you are

I won't miss this chance
To take You



I will not wait

While the stormy heart of Summer is exploding in your eyes



Tire swinging from a tree

Clover licking at your feet

Catbird on a limb

Reminding me that
You’re the song I want to sing

My Pretty Thief
By Randy Adams
My Pretty Thief


Such a pretty thief
To steal my heart away

Wear me like a chain around your neck

Put me close to you

That's where I want to be

Near the rising and the falling of your breath



Of all of the love we are born to suffer
I will suffer you



You ask me about love

Like I know what it is

Like I hold any evidence at all

But I can tell you this
I am staring down the sun

To touch the places where your shadow falls



Of all of the love we are born to suffer
I will suffer you



Lightning strikes

The summer heat

All the sky surrounding

Barely beats

Take this kiss

My pretty thief
To steal the taste of summer ending

Out my window here tonight

Seven sisters shining bright

A beautiful attempt

There’s no denying

But sit them next to you

And they’re just ordinary girls

Barely standing out against the sky

Of all of the love we are born to suffer
I will suffer you



Lightning strikes

The summer heat

All the sky surrounding

Barely beats
Take this kiss

My pretty thief

To steal the taste of summer ending

By the stars you grow glimmering wings

Hover near me, and I’ll tie a tethering string

By the night we are flicker and spark

Dancing spirals entwined in the dark

Awakening the dream remains

The tether tied

To you

My love

To you

Sweet pain

The grass is down to dirt

Where the footsteps of my dreams

Have worn away a path up to your door

And I can hear my pretty thief

Singing novelty and charm
From an open window on the second floor
