Begging for Grace (Dragonfly Wings)

Vanishing America

Joshua Kadison

歌词

I was locked up in a crazy place

They found me on the streets beggin' for grace

I don't remember but they say

I lost my mind

She was in the garden after the rain in a white robe

We were dressed the same

She took my hand and said my eyes looked kind

Then she said that, "You must be the boy she sent me from the other side Well, I've been waiting for the longest time And you can tell her it's been a crazy ride"

Tell her I think

I've learned the lessons she sent me to learn

Tell her I think

I know what

I wanna be should

I return I wanna be blues,

I wanna be greens

I wanna be flyin' on dragonfly wings

Sittin' on the banks where the river twists

Showin' me the marks up and down her wrists

She told me there was sacred writing in the lines

She said the language was from a long time ago

And she could find out all she wants to know

If she could just decipher those sacred signs

She said that, "You must be the boy she sent me from the other side Well, I've been waiting for the longest time And you can tell her it's been a crazy ride"

Tell her I think

I've learned the lessons she sent me to learn

Tell her I think

I know what

I wanna be should

I return I wanna be blues,

I wanna be greens

I wanna be flyin' on dragonfly wings

I found her walkin' in the northern fields

Said I had to leave cause they called me healed

I told her

I could see my face in the mirror again
