lyrics

Here comes Elaine from the Cottonwood 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 the veil she opens wide, a tauntillating 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 tarry there until 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 briar
they nested there in our attire
we spun in fear, like an insect chandelier
