far away, voice on telephone
everyday slips further away

on and on i long and long and
sing a song of love out to her
everyday i lay awake and dream that
someday she'll come back to me

i breathe for you
i live for you
i bleed for you
i burn for you

much to say, but she won't speak a word
and today i know she's not alone

on and on i hope and hold on
to a dream of us together
it's her voice there on the line
but all the calls just add up to goodbye

i need you [x4]

on and on i long and long and
sing a firefly out to her
everyday in every way i dream that
someday she'll come back to me

far away
she's not coming home
