E
Well listen, someday
You'll hear a rush of wings
So distant, a sound of secret things
G
There, look there, up in that rusty sky
E
Yonder, sweeps the dragonfly
G
So awesome, he blocks the setting sun
E
He'll come to collect the souls of everyone
G A F#m7 E
Come dragon, come
G A F#m7 E
In from the sun
E
He floats with an eerie grace
A giant blue green sentinal
From some distant time and space
G
And because he'll come, he'll have no regrets
E
Surely he'll come to lay this birth to rest
G
I know one day you'll see him
But please don't ask me why
E
He will be a secret dragonfly
G A F#m7 E
Fly dragon fly,
G A F#m7 E
here from the sky
-- guitar solo --
E
So if you hear that sound I'm talkin' about
When you know he's near
When your times run out
Well don't you fear
There's nothing that you can say
Cause he'll appear and take you to that special place
G A F#m7 E
He'll take you there
He'll take you there
He'll take you there
He'll take you there
He'll take you there
