Mystified, Heavy - Sam Roberts

Ooh, it's got me mystified, heavy now 
Deep down to my soul 
You try to keep the wheel steady now 
Easy as she goes 
I can hear on the wind a tale that needs to be told again 
The horizon bends at either end and the sea can't tell a foe from a friend 

I know it was only a dream 
As delicate as a dragonfly wing 

I was never satisfied with any life 'til she called my name 
The air on the high ground was rarefied, every day the same 
And old fears were always near but when we set sail they disappeared 
There are those who fear the deep but the world don't wait when your faith won't leap 

And I know it was only a dream 
As delicate as a dragonfly wing 

Then we watched as the Southern Cross led the sailors home, constellation borne 
We set sail in a heavy gale and to the sea many of us thrown 
And there were times when my courage failed but I never bowed to the storm 
Whatever path you choose to walk, in the end, you walk alone 

Ooh, it's got me mystified heavy now 
Tongue-tied to the anchor chain 
You try to keep your hand steady now 
But it slips again 
And landfall surprised us all and she broke on the rocks like a china doll 
You can hear the siren call for the last dance at Poseidon's Ball 

I know it was only a dream 
As delicate a dragonfly wing 
I hope it was only a dream 
As delicate as a dragonfly wing
