Lyrics Isobel Campbell – Counting Fireflies

Text:

Hey dream weaver now I’d like to talk with you
Hey dream weaver now we’ve talked the whole night through
I’ve been dark places
Passports, suitcases

Ice stares, long faces
Sank with no traces.

I would like to know
I don’t know
Take this dream of mine
Make it grow
When you love someone
Set them free
Out into the world
Wait for me

Hey why do you let them steal the magic from your eyes?
You’re talking to yourself and counting fireflies
Move into trust dear
What am I doing here?
Too much pain
Too much fear
Will my dreams all rust here?

I would like to know
I don’t know
Take this love of mine
Make it grow
When you love someone
Set them free
Out into the world
Wait for me

Bad situations

Greyhound bus stations
Self-help quotations
New motivation

I would like to know
I don’t know
Take this dream of mine
Make it so
Got a lot to learn
Wait and see
When you love someone
Set them free

Hey dream weaver from the mountain to the sea
Hey when the day is done please say a prayer for me
What about the haters?
Judgement, newspapers
Old town, new freighter
Who will be curator?

Now I’d like to know
I don’t know
Take this love of mine
Make it grow
When you love someone
Set them free
Out into the world
Wait for me

Hey dream weaver now I’d like to talk with you
Hey dream weaver now I’d like to talk with you
