Dragonfly Songtext
von Terramara

I ran into an old man sitting on a park bench
Said he was at least nineteen when he fought the war
He told me if the big one hits
He′s gonna have to buy new mitts for his ugly poodle

I watched him take a long, fat cigar from his jacket
I watched him blow a big smoke ring up into the clouds
He said he never shot a man
He never shot a man who didn't have his boots on
Oh and he said

Hold your head up when the skies are gray (When the skies are gray)
And all your colors seem to wash away (Colors wash away)
Most men crumble when their days grow long (When their days are long)
But you and I will never fade
No, we′ll never fade
No, we'll never fade

He slowly pulled a tattered photo from his wallet
He said it was the only earthly angel he'd ever known
He lost her on a cold, black night
It was a tragic fight with the influenza


He wiped away single teardrop with his finger
And as he rose to leave, you know, I saw him start to laugh
He told me if the good ones die
He wants to be a dragonfly in a future life
Oh and he said

Hold your head up when the skies are gray (When the skies are gray)
And all your colors seem to wash away (Colors wash away)
Most men crumble when their days grow long (When their days grow long)
But you and I will never fade
No, we′ll never fade

Hold your head up when the skies are gray (When the skies are gray)
And all your colors seem to wash away (Colors wash away)
Most men crumble when their days grow long (When their days grow long)
But you and I will never fade

Hold your head up when the skies are turning gray
(When the skies are gray)
And all the pretty colors seem to wash away (Colors wash away)
Most men will crumble when their days are growing long
(When their days are long)
But you and I will never, never fade
No, we′ll never fade
No, we'll never fade
No, we′ll never fade
No, we'll never fade
