Dragonfly

She boards a one way train

She's leaving home again

Maybe this time she'll be strong enough

Tears fill up her eyes

As her kids wave their goodbyes

Maybe this time they'll be strong enough

Finally it's fare thee well

Thirty three she's been through hell

It's time to ramble on

She takes off all her clothes

The petals stripped off of a rose

The pain is finally gone

And somewhere

Way up in the night the moon

Reflects a brilliant light and she smiles

Because she knows that she is free

A lonely man shaving in the sink

As he slowly sips his drink

He remembers how he used to be

The numbness in his soul runs deep

Blacker and blacker week by week

He remembers how things used to be

His kids are grown his wife's long gone

He stumbles home then drinks til dawn

He won't escape today

He drops his shoes onto the floor

Can't fight these demons anymore

He finally falls asleep

And somewhere

Way up in the night the moon

Reflects a brilliant light

And he cries because he knows he can't be free
