Dragonfly
Matt Powell Lyrics

Riding along on the wind so high
I'm soaring through the sky on a gust of wind

Everybody calls me the dragonfly
I've been named after the mystical, flying insect

Riding along on the wind so low
Descending closer to the ground now

Thank you for the listen but I got to go
I appreciate your attention, but it's time for me to leave

I got to roll a mile a day
I need to travel a great distance each day

My dragonfly baby's waitin' at cattail bay
My beloved partner, who I refer to as a dragonfly, is waiting for me by the bay

Dragonfly singing a dragonfly song
I'm singing a song in honor of dragonflies

Anybody wants to can sing along
Anyone who is willing is welcome to join in the singing

A little off key but I don't mind
Our singing may not be perfect, but it doesn't bother me

Sun looks happy and its gonna shine
The sun appears content and bright

I got to get my going on
I need to continue my journey

My dragonfly baby's waiting at the catfish pond
My partner is waiting for me at the pond where the catfish swim

She's singing
My partner is singing

doo doo do-doo doo
She is making sounds of varying tones that are difficult to describe accurately

doo doo doo do-doo hooo
Her singing continues with more of these unique, indescribable sounds

doo doo do-doo doo
Her song persists with a repeated pattern of tones and beats

doo doo doo doo doo doo
These complex sounds combine to create a beautiful melody

I got some honeysuckle wine for my sweet tooth here.
I have some sweet, sugary wine made from honeysuckle flowers to enjoy

A little drop or two gonna take me there
Just a small amount of this wine will suffice to give me a pleasant feeling

I find me a leaf and float down stream
I've found a leaf to use as a makeshift watercraft and am floating down the stream

Nappin all the way, life's but a dream
I am relaxing and dozing off while enjoying the beauty around me

Hope I don't spring a leak
I hope my leaf boat doesn't take on water and sink

My dragonfly baby's waiting on down the creek
My partner is waiting for me further down the creek

Moons putting old man sun to bed
The moon is rising and the sun is setting

Mamas making sure that the baby's fed
A mother is nurturing and taking care of her child

The fireflies glowing like stars on earth
The glowing fireflies look as though they are stars in the night sky

Money can't buy what this is worth
The beauty of nature cannot be purchased with money

I'm gonna get me some tonight
I am going to enjoy the night and whatever it has to offer

My dragonfly baby's dancing in the moon light
My partner is dancing in the moonlight

doo doo do-doo doo
She is still singing her undefined, yet captivating, song

doo doo doo do-doo hooo
Her voice echoes in the night with more enigmatic sounds

doo doo do-doo doo
Her song carries on with its unique pattern

doo doo doo doo doo doo
The melody continues to enchant and inspire me
