Lyrics
I thought I knew you when you walked into the bar
You said you don¹t recall my face
Sometimes it happens that my only memory
Is short on time and long on space
You can¹t see me but your eyes are open wide
And then they turn right into stone
You are fleeting but I can¹t forget your eyes
That break right through my brittle bones
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever land, will it ever try?
Don¹t try to capture her it¹s the hardest thing to do
We used to look to the colors of the sky
And watch them fade right into night
Now all these colors have become that memory
And they¹ve faded far from sight
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever land, will it ever try?
Don¹t try to capture her, it¹s the hardest thing to do
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever stop, will it ever die?
Don¹t try to follow her, its not a road for you
Now you¹ve come to me and you¹ve stepped out of your iron caste
You may be different now and you¹ve throw away your wild past
Why should it matter, why would it last?
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever land, will it ever try?
Don¹t try to capture her, it¹s the hardest thing to do
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever stop, will it ever die?
Don¹t try to follow her, its not a road for you
I thought I knew you when you walked into the bar
You said you don¹t recall my face
