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
