lyrics

Here comes Elaine from the cotton woods
she sang a song like I'd never heard
there in the shade, a whispering charade
Under the stars by the silent field
I lay her down & lift her veil
she opens wide, a tauntilating bride

From the edge of the woods came a thousand eyes
There is no love in the field of the dragonflies

Me & Elaine on the Miller's path
her image looks like a photograph
from a magazine, the kind you'd love to cream
The path leads on to a trickling brook
where we tarried there till the timbers shook
leaves in our hair, so naked, unaware

From the edge of the woods came a thousand eyes
There is no love in the field of the dragonflies

With all of the grace of a fluttering brier
they nested there in our attire
we spun in fear like an insect chandelier.
