Lyrics: Levin Schwartz
Music: Levin Schwartz & Erik Alan
Dragonflies,
Sunday afternoon.
The frost it will come,
It will be time to migrate soon.
It’s the cycle of the seasons; it’s a time I know too well.
I’ve come full circle, with this story to tell
It’s been a long time,
Since I’ve seen you come around.
The coil wound so tight,
It is starting to come unwound.
I hear your voice from, the top of the hill.
Your eyes so bright and the night so still.
She’s a moonlit night,
trapped behind a piece of glass.
Trying to break free,
free from it’s dance.
I know it’s hard, you can’t see.
That a thorn for you, could have been a rose for me.
Chorus:
We’ll both have to rise to the occasion,
from the ground on down.
We’ll watch the moon rise,
From the other side of town,
the other side of town.
Summer, Spring,
It’s the time of rebirth.
Burn, Burn,
on the snow covered earth.
There’s only one road over this mountain they say.
Be sure you don’t get caught, heading the wrong way.
Chorus:
We’ll both have to rise to the occasion,
from the ground on down.
We’ll watch the moon rise,
from the other side of town,
the other side of town.
