Lyrics

Dragon Fly

On the day that we met

I awoke from a total sleep

You said

Keep your eyes open wide

And keep your arms open wide

You brought me courage

You bring me courage

To keep my eyes open wide

And keep my arms open wide

You brought me courage

You show

A kind of delight

Dancing 'round

Like a dragonfly

Like a coverlet in the summer's air

In the summer's air

In the summer's air

On the day that we met

I awoke from a total sleep

You said

Keep your eyes open wide

And keep your arms open wide

You brought me courage

You bring me courage

To bring my eyes open wide

To keep my arms open wide

You bring me courage

You wrap your curve of delight

Round my cold cold neck

You're a coverlet

In the summer's air

In the summer's air

In the summer's air
