Safe To Fly

Dragonfly in the pouring rain

Cast a shadow on halcyon days

Chasing rainbows and 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

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

Aeronaut in a heavy cloud

Staying up with the radio down

Chasing rainbows you'd rather forget

Unaware of the trouble ahead

Sometimes I think I'm learning nothing at all

Once I've recovered I just stumble and fall

'Til I've discovered what the journey's about

I'm preparing for flight and I'll weather 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 biding my time

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

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
