Dragons

In the spare room under the window is a castle With a draw bridge and three turrets and a moat In the spare room underneath the window lives a dragon Breathing fire, casting shadows but alone He begins to dream of friends of old Imagining their scales, their spikes Their wings unfold to dance with him Through darkened skies wrapped in starry nights In the spare room the sun is setting on the horizon As the dragon paces round his empty home In the silence of the night inside the castle A single tear can be heard fall He begins to dream of friends to hold Imagining their scales, their spikes Their wings unfold to dance with him Through darkened skies with their tails entwined In the spare room dawn in breaking on the castle As the dragon wakes to find another soul Oh she's glowing and she smells just like the dragon Hint of sulphur and of cinnamon and clove He begins to dream that there is hope Embracing all her scales and spikes Their wings unfold to dance across the clear blue sky With their hearts on fire Her wings unfold just like his own Her heart burns just as bright She dances like she's always known To perfect to be right He begins to realise what's true Watching as her scales and spikes Fade into clouds and sea and birds 'Til she's gone from view as the sunsets too In the spare room underneath the window lives a dragon Breathing fire, casting shadows, but alone
