Mystified, Heavy - Sam Roberts

Ooh, it’s got me mystified, heavy now

Deep down to my soul

You try to keep the wheel steady now

Easy as she goes

I can hear on the wind a tale that needs to be told again

The horizon bends at either end and the sea can’t tell a foe from a friend

I know it was only a dream

As delicate as a dragonfly wing

I was never satisfied with any life 'til she called my name

The air on the high ground was rarefied, every day the same

And old fears were always near but when we set sail they disappeared

There are those who fear the deep but the world don’t wait when your faith

won’t leap

And I know it was only a dream

As delicate as a dragonfly wing

Then we watched as the Southern Cross led the sailors home, constellation borne

We set sail in a heavy gale and to the sea many of us thrown

And there were times when my courage failed but I never bowed to the storm

Whatever path you choose to walk, in the end, you walk alone

Ooh, it’s got me mystified heavy now

Tongue-tied to the anchor chain

You try to keep your hand steady now

But it slips again

And landfall surprised us all and she broke on the rocks like a china doll

You can hear the siren call for the last dance at Poseidon’s Ball

I know it was only a dream

As delicate a dragonfly wing

I hope it was only a dream

As delicate as a dragonfly wing
