Story behind the song
Some things stay with you 'til the day you die. That's how it is for Firefly, and that's how it is for this song.
Lyrics
Chorus: I’m out of gas; I’m on the drift; Engine ain’t turnin’; and each breath’s a gift. Now when I die, I’ll die alone; If I could reach that button, I’d call you home. When I reach that button, I’ll call you home. (x2) The candles burned, on the birthday cake, We joked and laughed, not a thing at stake; One long deep breath, one wish to claim, Then the air we were laughin’, went up in flame. (x2) I met a man, in a brown leather coat, He thought one bullet, would buy my boat, But there ain’t a man, under any sun, Who can take my boat, when I’ve got my gun. (x2) Chorus [instrumental break] All I needed, was a nothing part, An old catalyzer, to make the engine start. Now I’ve got heat, and I’ve got air, And I’ve got blood, but not enough to spare. (x2) Chorus [instrumental break] My journey’s long, and I’m far from port, Space is cold, and my breath is short, Serenity Valley, is where I’ll lie, Some things stay with you, ‘till the day you die. (x3)
