Dragonfly On Bay Street Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

Used to work as a messenger 

Spent my days riding elevators 

In the heart of the business world 

Till one day there came a sign 

In the form of a 

Dragonfly on Bay Street 

Buzzing round from tower to tower 

At the twilight of the working hour 

Had he taken a wrong turn? 

Was he lost without a trace? 

Just like us? 

Dragonfly on Bay Street 

In the crowd without a face 

Dragonfly on Bay Street 

No fields for miles around 

As through the underground I go 

What was it telling me? 

It's better to be free? 

Or maybe nothing at all 

Now I work in another field 

Spend my time keeping my eyes peeled 

For a sign that'll lead me home 

Cause Lord I feel so out of place 

Just like that 

Dragonfly on Bay Street 

Now I work in another field 

Spend my time keeping my eyes peeled 

For a sign that'll lead me home 

Cause Lord I feel so out of place 

Just like that 

Dragonfly on Bay Street 

I'm lost without a trace 

Dragonfly on Bay Street 

In the crowd without a face 

Dragonfly on Bay Street 

It's all or nothing at all
