Dragon and Me

Verse 1

She hatched in a thundercloud the night I turned eighteen

Scales like hammered copper caught the fire in between

I fed her mountain berries from a shaking palm

She grew from my cradle to a storm that kept me calm

Pre-Chorus

People say a beast can't hold a heart

People never met her

Chorus

My dragon and me against the folding sky

Wings wide she carries what I cannot hold

My dragon and me we never say goodbye

She burns the cold right out of my bones

(My bones, my bones)

Verse 2

Folks in town they crossed themselves and bolted every door

Called her curse and called me reckless

Called us something worse than war

But her snout against my shoulder late at night

Tells me everything the preacher never got right

Pre-Chorus

Let them swing their torches let them scream

They don't know what we are

Chorus

My dragon and me against the folding sky

Wings wide she carries what I cannot hold

My dragon and me we never say goodbye

She burns the cold right out of my bones

(My bones, my bones)

Bridge

Claw to hand and hand to flame

Two kinds of wild but one same name

If the kingdom wants a war

Let it come let it come

Chorus

My dragon and me against the folding sky

Wings wide she carries what I cannot hold

My dragon and me we never say goodbye

She burns the cold right out of my bones

Post-Chorus

Fly fly fly with me

(With me, with me)

Rise rise rise with me

(With me, with me)
