			Eitzel told ''Sounds'' that the opening line was "not intended to be flippant at all. That’s what people do – they laugh at things that die quickly. To protect themselves or something. I don’t want flippancy in our music, but I’ll sometimes risk an element of it.”<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://americanmusicclub.com/index.php?title=Articles:Sounds_-_October_21,_1989 \| work=Sounds \| date=October 21, 1989 \| author=Roy Wilkinson \| title=Atlantic Crossing \| accessdate=March 27, 2018}}</ref>

==Lyrics==
Come on beautiful we'll go sit on the front lawn 
We'll watch the fireflies as the sun goes down 
They don't live too long, just a flash and then they're gone 
We'll laugh at them and watch the sun go down

You're so pretty baby 
You're the prettiest thing I know 
You're so pretty baby 
Where did you go

Tell my why you don't sleep anymore 
Tell me what you sit up all night waiting for 
Are you waiting for loneliness to paralyze 
Are you waiting for Sister Midnight to unleash the tide

You're so pretty baby 
You're the prettiest thing I know 
You're so pretty baby 
Where did you go

Finish the prayer that started as a kiss 
The overwhelming dream of happiness 
I'll give you all of my good luck 
For the overwhelming dream that's killing us

You're so pretty baby 
You're the prettiest thing I know 
You're so pretty baby 
Where did you go

Come on we'll go sit on the front lawn 
I'll hold you in my arms and we're gone 
Here and gone, firefly
