Goode," "I'm a King Bee," "All Along the Watchtower" and "Roadhouse Blues." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Lyrics for Dragonfly
DRAGONFLY
"Mahogany Rush IV"

Well listen, someday
You'll hear a rush of wings
So distant, a sound of secret things
There, look there, up in that rusty sky
Yonder, sweeps the dragonfly
So awesome, he blocks the setting sun
He'll come to collect the souls of everyone
Come dragon, come
In from the sun
He floats with an eerie grace
A giant blue green sentinal
From some distant time and space
And because he'll come, he'll have no regrets
Surely he'll come to lay this birth to rest
I know one day you'll see him
But please don't ask me why
He will be a secret dragonfly
Fly dragon fly, here from the sky
So if you hear that sound I'm talkin' about
When you know he's near
When your times run out
Well don't you fear
There's nothing that you can say
Cause he'll appear and take you to that special place
He'll take you there
He'll take you there
He'll take you there
He'll take you there
He'll take you there
He'll take you ........

Genre: Hard Rock

Shot this Dragonfly in the wild at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore. To be honest , this was definitely a shoot first then select the title to fit..... and YES!! I have listened to this Canadian group and they are pretty good.

Hope this can better a 6.
