Dragonfly Summer - Michael Franks

Deep in July

Counting clouds floating by

Keeps us busy

The mockingbird’s song

In the palmetto palm

Rivals dizzy

How we thrive deep in dragonfly summer

Our new swimsuits have hardly been worn

We revive, deep in dragonfly summer

Celebrating the day you were born

Let the world wait

While we procrastinate

It’s too hot now

There will be time

To wake up, toe the line

But it’s not now

In the pool, deep in dragonfly summer

Zero gravity tempts us again

Staying cool, deep in dragonfly summer

Is a hardship I hope will not end

And the heat deep in dragonfly summer

Drives the tourists away, we’re alone

I repeat, deep in dragonfly summer

We’re in paradise right here at home

Deep in dragonfly summer

Deep in dragonfly summer

Deep in dragonfly summer

Deep in dragonfly summer

Deep in dragonfly summer

Deep in dragonfly summer

Deep in dragonfly summer

We’re deep in dragonfly summer
