From Golden Age of Radio
Words and music by Josh Ritter

[G]After all the lights had died
[Em]Out behind the palisades park
[C]Fireflies remembered to do
[C?]Exactly what they were supposed to

[G]And memories were like coins that tumbled
[Em]Somersaulting through the deep
[C]Down every well we through them in
[C?]Until they came to the top again

[Am]And out like the sun [Em]
[Am]In your hair, in your hair[C]

Every month that ends its spin
Is picked up by the moon for keeping
Clean and safe from accidents
Sheltered from the elements

But June is like an echo
Of the sounds we never made
I swear they find me in my waking hours
Thirty days like poison flowers

The wind in your hair
Like a sigh, like a sigh

With intermittent rain and shine
The sky re-started six or seven times
It's blue because it sees
All our infidelities

We both know that it's been so long
I'm not sure what to say so I hope
Fireflies remember to do
Exactly what it was they used to
