Ron Sexsmith - Dragonfly on bay street

Tekst :

Used to work as a messenger
Spent my days riding elevators
In the heart of the business world
Till one day there came a sign
In the form of a
Dragonfly on Bay Street

Buzzin round from tower to tower
At the twilight of the working hour
Had he taken a wrong turn?
Was he lost without a trace?
Just like us?
Dragonfly on Bay Street

In the crowd without a face
Dragonfly on Bay Street

No fields for miles around
As through the underground I go
What was it telling me?
It s better to be free?
Or maybe nothing at all....

Now I work in another field
Spend my time keeping my eyes peeled
For a sign that ll lead me home
Cause Lord I feel so out of place
Just like that
Dragonfly on Bay Street

Now I work in another field
Spend my time keeping my eyes peeled
For a sign that ll lead me home
Cause Lord I feel so out of place
Just like that
Dragonfly on Bay Street

I m lost without a trace
Dragonfly on Bay Street

In the crowd without a face
Dragonfly on Bay Street

It?s all or nothing at all

  • Doomed
  • Parable
  • Former glory
  • So young

    The light & the glass

    Slowly the pen touches paper in the guidance of the words that you write.
    Memories roll in of the things you once did
    and who you had shared them with. Is somebody thinking of you?
    Did I bother telling you this, with the words that cross teeth and jump lips?
    A poor choice of...

    Love at your convenience

    Your Childish Game Is Over Now.
    Lost Your Power Over Night Some How.
    Better See It Ain t Gonna Be Like It Used to Be.
    No More Love At Your Convenience.
    No More Love At Your Command.
    No More Love At Your Convenience.
    Lots of Time Late At Night, I Really Needed You.
    I m Telling You...

    Hold on

    Time after time,
    feels like I m fading away
    Stopped on a dime,
    staring into space
    And clarity comes,
    and clarity goes
    But for all these epiphanies,
    I m still lost
    Holding the roses

    At the start of your life,...

    The tongue of fire

    Teach me the tongue of fire
    so that I may set the world ablaze
    for it is cold
    and this blindness can no longer give me shelter
    teach me the tongue of fire
    so that I may cry out loud my wrath
    and my...

    Lost soul

    Open my grave and
    let the sun shine in

    oh, can t you see
    how i m dying? i ve got no
    reason to be proud

    me before i drown

    god save the queen
    but why can t god...
