Hey dragonfly, where have all the dragons gone?
Like mist before the coming dawn, gone and left you all alone.
When summer baked their ruby hides, you’d zap and flit and twist beside
An emerald jewel with azure eyes, shimmering in the wake as a dragon flies.
Gone, never to return
The sun continues to burn
The night still holds the moon
All things end too soon.
Hey dragonfly, hovering in the reeds
Floating on the gentle breeze, do you notice me?
I wonder what your eyes see, thirty thousand facets of reality
Do you still gaze on a geography where dragons blaze and roam free?
Gone, never to return
The sun continues to burn
The night still holds the moon
All things end too soon.
Dragonfly, so many things have gone
It’s hard to carry on, somehow you carry on.
And when your time is done under this moon and sun
Will you follow the dragon’s tale and leave us for a world less pale?
