Dragonflies - Eddi Reader

A lost summer’s day, a lifetime away

What do you find

Slow turning sun, with somewhere to run

On your mind

Not the flash that you saw

That was gone in the wink of an eye

As soon as we’re here, we disappear, like dragonflies

Their miracle blue can never tell you

How it came to be

Each different kind, accidental designed

Before you and me

And we ask the whole of our lives

Maybe there’s no why

As soon as we’re here, we disappear, like dragonflies

How can something so fragile leave us helpless

We all feel helpless once in a while

How can something so fragile leave us humble

We all need humble once in a while

And now nature can sing such beautiful wings

Did you think of this

That each of us know in our hearts we must go

And that’s what beauty is

And just as the dream you were in

Dissolved in the morning sky

As soon as we’re here, we disappear, like dragonflies

How can something so fragile leave us helpless

We all feel helpless once in a while

How can something so fragile leave us humble

We all feel humble once in a while

And now nature can sing such beautiful wings

Did you think of this

That each of us know in our hearts we must go

And that’s what beauty is

And just as the dream you were in dissolved in the morning sky

As soon as we’re here, we disappear, like dragonflies
