The Dragonfly Queen

(album: IX - 2014)

That December we met on the Eastern shore on a boat
You were singing and drinking and wanted to let go
But the water was rising and it threatened to drag us down
Just us alone on the river, all our friends had all left town

And so we stumbled ahead and assembled some sign of a home
What began as a dream soon became great labor of love
And as we parted our ways we held on to the strain of a doubt
That we would never again be the same from within or without

And as you stare into his eyes you can tell there's a sort of a glow
He'll be wiser than us someday and we should know
Will he forgive us our sins, will he forgive us our failures and doubts
Will he look back on us and wish we could have figured it out
