Dragonflies

a lost summer’s day
a lifetime away
what do you find
slow turning sun
with somewhere to run
are on your mind

not the flash that you saw
and 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 we came to be
each different kind
accidental, designed
before you and me

and we ask the whole
of our lives
and 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
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

na-na-na

how can {ooohh etc.} 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

now nature can sing
such beautiful wings
did you {wah-ee-ah} 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

as soon as we’re here {ah-hah}
we disappear
like dragonflies

as soon as we’re here...

as soon as we’re here
we disappear
like dragonflies
