Dragonfly

Don't ask me to surrender Her voice fell tired and spent My hopes and dreams, a silent heart I carry here within Her outstretched wings, left tattered A sail aged with rust A breath in time, that's yours and mine It belongs to only us And I will write her name and cast it to the sky Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes A host of angels clamor to her side A light dissolves to kiss the wind Release the dragonfly See the rose within the field of white She's searching for the grail But the rain descends to snatch the light From distant dying suns A faint resounding in the night Calls angels wings to beat Singing silent lip-sewn songs But the distance is too deep And I will write her name and cast it to the sky Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes A host of angels clamor to her side A light dissolves to kiss the wind Release the dragonfly And I will write her name and cast it to the sky As precious moments will slip away in time Angels fall from grace and sometimes heroes die But tonight, my love, ascend the gates Release the dragonfly And I will write her name and cast it to the sky Silhouettes recede into a mother's tearful eyes A host of angels clamor to her side A light dissolves to kiss the wind, Release the dragonfly And I will write her name and cast it to the sky As precious moments will slip away in time Sometimes angels fall, but love will never die Tonight my soul is something more Calls the dragonfly
