Lyrics
Beautiful Dragonfly
(c) Andy Pearce 2008
Anne: Welcome to St Thomas's,
its nice to meet you both
Elsie &
Francis: Oh its so good to get here,
just as we imagined.
Anne: Welcome to St Thomas's,
let me show you where you are
Elsie &
Francis: Its just as we imagined.
Anne: Your bed is here. There's always someone
on hand to help.
Elsie: You've everything you need, dear?
Francis: I'm happy now
Anne: You can go outside, if you're up to it,
and sit on the patio
Elsie: Oh, look at the garden,
Francis: And the flower beds.
Anne: We get rabbits in the morning,
and we're sometimes honoured by
a visit from our beautiful
Dragonfly
Elsie: I can't tell you how relieved we were
to find a free bed here
Anne: It changes day to day,
we can't plan.
But sadly, unexpected places
do come up, sometimes.
Elsie: She's my only daughter.
I hate to see her like this.
The other place was awful.
Here she has hope.
Anne: Its good that Francis is still
so optimistic.
They find it harder when they have
no hope.
Elsie: Well there's only so much
we can do now.
At least she's got the garden
when she wakes.
Maybe your dragonfly
can help her climb
to heaven
(instrumental interlude)
Elsie: Have you got what you need, dear?
Frances: I'm happy now
Anne: We know how
to control your pain
Elsie: Have you got what you need, dear?
Frances: I'll be fine.
Anne: Your quality of life
is our concern.
Elsie: Look at that garden,
Francis: and the flower beds.
Anne: Oh, look, on the lawn;
there's our beautiful
Dragonfly
