Dragonfly - Joel Plaskett

I am a dragonfly

I’ve been here a while

In the rooms where you sleep

Where you sit

Where you file

All of your records

And old photographs

I’m trying to tell you something

I am the light at the end of the hall

The things that you know, man you don’t know at all

Close your eyes, put down the receiver

I’m trying to tell you something

I turn on the tap

To slow down the show

You catch me on camera

In the corner I glow

I’m speaking a language

That you’ll understand

I’m trying to tell you something

You live in nostalgia

And fear for the future

The age of distraction

Is no age at all

There’s much to be learned

From the nothing but silence

The light at the end of the hall

I am dragonfly

I came here to rest

Not far from the music

So close to your chest

Keep closing your eyes to open your mind

I’m trying to tell you something

I gave you a glimpse

I was here now in gone

You put words on my wings just by writing this song

Go back to the pavement

Go get lost in the fray

Remember this dragonfly flying away
