Ooh, it's got me mystified, heavy now
|
Deep down to my soul
|
You try to keep the wheel steady now
|
Easy as she goes
|
I can hear on the wind a tale that needs to be told again
|
The horizon bends at either end and the sea can't tell a foe from a friend
|
|
I know it was only a dream
|
As delicate as a dragonfly wing
|
I was never satisfied with any life till she called my name
|
The air on the high ground was rarefied, every day the same
|
And old fears were always near but (when we set sail, they disappeared
|
There are those that fear the deep, but) the world don't wait
|
When your faith won't leap
|
|
And I know it was only a dream
|
As delicate as a dragonfly wing
|
|
Then we watched as the Southern Cross led the sailors home, constellation borne
|
We set sail in a heavy gale and to the sea many of us thrown
|
And there were times when my courage failed but I never bowed to the storm
|
Whatever path you choose to walk, in the end, you walk alone
|
|
Ooh, it's got me mystified, heavy now
|
Tongue-tied to the anchor chain
|
You try to keep your hand steady now
|
But it slips again
|
And landfall surprised us all and she broke on the rocks like a china doll
|
You can hear the siren call for the last dance at Poseidon's Ball
|
|
I know it was only a dream
|
As delicate as a dragonfly wing
|
I hope it was only a dream
|
As delicate as a dragonfly wing
|
|

Mystified, Heavy
