The Waterlily & The Dragonfly
I see the pond come alive in the moonlight now
In a sweet midsummer night's dream
I see the willow bend & the black reeds bow
& the emerald water gleam
I've been listening to the fairies 'til my ears were ringing
& I had to wash them in the sand
I would listen with my tired eyelids if you're singing
Listen with the palm of my hand
& you go
I'll be your lovely waterlily
You'll be my dragonfly
Can't you see it's surely gonna kill me
If the pond runs dry
Tonight I'm gonna give in to the clatter of the crickets
& the gentle sting of desire
One step away from the shelter of the thicket
One step away from the mire
I can't compete with you
& I can't fly
I'm gonna wither in the heat
Wither & die
In a sweet midsummer night's dream
I see the willow bend & the black reeds bow
& the emerald water gleam
I've been listening to the fairies 'til my ears were ringing
& I had to wash them in the sand
I would listen with my tired eyelids if you're singing
Listen with the palm of my hand
& you go
I'll be your lovely waterlily
You'll be my dragonfly
Can't you see it's surely gonna kill me
If the pond runs dry
Tonight I'm gonna give in to the clatter of the crickets
& the gentle sting of desire
One step away from the shelter of the thicket
One step away from the mire
I can't compete with you
& I can't fly
I'm gonna wither in the heat
Wither & die
