dragonfly in the pouring rain cast a shadow on halcyon days chasing rainbows 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 cleared 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've recovered I just stumble and fall 'til I've 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 cleared to go I won't be shaken by the undertow I'm biding my time
