On a summer night, 1975
      F               C
Maybe earlier, now I don't remember
            F                C
She catches fireflies at the ice cream social
    G  G7
And oh
            F     C
We watch them take flight


      F                   C
He is coming now with the rake on fire
    F                       C
He destroys the nest of the wasps up high
     F                         C
We are standing there with the fire in our eyes
    G  G7
And oh
                         F   C
We don't know what we're seeing

       F               C
At the cemetery back beyond our house
          F                           C
There's a grave with pictures, one of him, one of her
      F                          C
I can smell the flowers, they died long ago
    G  G7
And oh
      F        C
How I long for you...
