lyrics

for ages i’ve been searching for
a firefly fruit when ripe
i left my children, left my wife
and lost my previous life

i walked through mountains, overseas
i crossed the northern lights
to find somebody who might know
where firefly fruits turn ripe

it’s hanging from a tree branch
that is hanging from a tree
the tree branch told me “brother
it’s not what it’s meant to be”
oh no, not what it’s meant to be

for ages I’ve been searching for
a firefly fruit when ripe
it’s said it makes the mushrooms grow
the water turn to ice

and knows a story word for word
it whispers during nights
and if I heard it I’m sure I’d
stop searching for a while

it’s hanging from a tree branch
that is hanging from a tree
the tree branch told me “brother
it’s not what it’s meant to be”
oh no, not what it’s meant to be

for ages I’ve been searching for
you wouldn’t understand
for if you did you’d take my head
and try to find it first

for ages I’ve been searching for
a firefly fruit when ripe
i must have found one once before
but lost it searching more

it’s hanging from a tree branch
that is hanging from a tree
the tree branch told me “brother
it’s not what it’s meant to be”
oh no, not what it’s meant to be
