lyrics

DRAGONFLIES

Foreign leaves from foreign trees
Crunch like snakes under foot
Drangonflies they fly like flies
The present of the present present

I sit where dogs stand still
The patch of stubbled grass between paths
Landlords walk arm in arm
Runners sweat sweat on their backs

Did they ever ask?

In the eye of the storm I found the words at times perpetual
And incensant
I sit where others sweat sunsets as we embrace the darkness

What would you make of this?

If all you wanted from love
Was all you need
If all you wanted from love
Was all you need

Regimented troops of school children run
Ducks quack quack quack quack quack
Feet shuffle shuffle, hustle rustle, shuffle shuffle
I tred on leaves in the grass

And if they every ask...

If all you wanted from love
Was all you need
If all you wanted from love
Was all you need

You’d be free
