Lyrics
I thought I knew you when you walked into the bar
You said you donıt recall my face
Sometimes it happens that my only memory
Is short on time and long on space
You canıt see me but your eyes are open wide
And then they turn right into stone
You are fleeting but I canıt forget your eyes
That break right through my brittle bones
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever land, will it ever try?
Donıt try to capture her itıs 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 theyıve faded far from sight
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever land, will it ever try?
Donıt try to capture her, itıs the hardest thing to do
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever stop, will it ever die?
Donıt try to follow her, its not a road for you
Now youıve come to me and youıve stepped out of your iron caste
You may be different now and youıve 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?
Donıt try to capture her, itıs the hardest thing to do
When does the dragonfly?
Will it ever stop, will it ever die?
Donıt try to follow her, its not a road for you
I thought I knew you when you walked into the bar
You said you donıt recall my face
