Eddi Reader - Dragonflies lyrics

A lost summer's day, a lifetime away What do you find Slow turning sun, with somewhere to run On your mind Not the flash that you saw That 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 it came to be Each different kind, accidental designed Before you and me And we ask the whole of our lives 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 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. 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 feel 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 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.
