Dragonflies Lyrics

It's been so long out on the road

It was time to get back home

To see my kids and hold my wife

To sit on the porch

And watch the cars go by

That old green gate was painted white

The lock remains crooked to the right

My dog comes running, not as fast

And I'm not as strong

So we lay on the grass

The sun is up

And there is one more shadow to cast now

I gotta believe

It starts at my feet

And fades onto the front door

Will they be the same?

I close my eyes and see the boys

They're fighting again

Something about their toys

Does Mary still spin Smiths and Cure?

Does she sleep to her left

And leave the TV on?

The moon is up

I'm weaker than these dragonflies

As strong as a twig

The silence I hear

Is proof I should be gone now

Will they be the same?
