Dragonfly in the pouring rain
Casts a shadow on unseeing days,
Just some rainbows are 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

Ayreon in a heavy cloud,
Staying up with the radio down,
Just some rainbows you’d rather forget,
Unaware of the trouble ahead.

Sometimes I think I’m learning nothing at all,
Once I recovered I’d just stumble and fall,
Til I discovered what the journey’s about,
I’m preparing for flight, and I’m waiting it out

Until it’s safe to fly, I could be waiting
Til the summer sky, but I’m standing by
Until I’m clear 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.
