Do you remember Mal Reynolds? Do you remember Jayne? Could you picture them selling tickets To the Reavers standing over The body on the plain (well, actually, I could picture Jayne doing that...) Did you understand the contract, Saffron Or was it all in vain?
(More complete (different) Firefly filk to follow...)
EARTH-THAT-WAS Words and music: Joseph Abbott Based on "Firefly" created by Joss Whedon
She was beautiful and tattered She was innocent and worn And we knew she'd always be there, and we knew her time was near She was everything that mattered From the time that we were born To the time that we abandoned her to die
CHORUS: And though we never saw her We still shape them in her image We see her ghost, see everything it does And though we never knew her We still know that she was ours We still dream of Earth-That-Was
From Osiris out to Paquin From Greenleaf to New Hall A hundred worlds all haunted by the memory of one From Persephone to Sihnon Londinium to Whitefall Wherever humankind has made its home CHORUS
And still we blast and dig and cut and burn We remember our first home... but have we learned? CHORUS x 2
