Dragonfly in the pouring rain
Casts a shadow on halcyon days,
Chasing rainbows and running the storm,
Unaware that your wings would be torn.

Sometimes I think I'm going nowhere at all,
Stuck in the shelter with my back to the wall,
Then I remember how it felt to come down,
So I'm taking my time and I'm not going out

Until it's safe to fly,
I could be waiting 'til the summer sky,
But I'm standing by
Until I'm clear to go,
I won't be shaken by the undertow...

I'm under your wing this time,
And I know there's a storm outside,
So I'll stay til I know it's safe, safe to fly.

Aeronaut in a heavy cloud,
Staying up with the radio down,
Chasing rainbows you'd rather forget,
Unaware of the trouble ahead.

Sometimes I think I'm learning nothing at all,
Once I recovered I'd just stumble and fall,
Til I discovered what the journey's about,
I'm preparing for flight, and I'll weather it out

Until it's safe to fly,
I could be waiting 'til the summer sky,
But I'm standing by
Until I'm clear to go,
I won't be shaken by the undertow
I'm biding my time

Sometimes I think I'm going nowhere at all,
Stuck in the shelter with my back to the wall,
Then I remember how it felt to come down,
So I'm taking my time and I'm not going out

Until it's safe to fly,
I could be waiting 'til the summer sky,
But I'm standing by
Until I'm clear to go,
I won't be shaken by the undertow

I'm under your wing this time,
And I know there's a storm outside,
So I'll stay til I know it's safe, safe to fly.
