         The Dragon's Song 

One hundred million years is oh so fleeting          
One hundred million years is worth repeating      
I'm runnin out of time
can you love me knowing I'm
like an old and bitter child but my heart is runnin wild

I'm not weary of their coming and their going                                                
I'm not fearing their clever cunning because I'm knowing
that my dreams are falling through
can I love you when they do
when the walls are giving way will my love go on its way

Over cheerless seas and silent waters
great pools of the ages of tears of His dear daughters
Over hoary mountain crags unreachable
Over the swarming battles of the unteachable
Over the clinging vines that keep the secrets
Over the fields of broken lovers regrets
My wings so slowly moving with my breathing
My eyes so lowly sighing to be leaving leaving…

There's no one left to mind this lonely business
The old ones left to find their own forgiveness
Surrendering my past
Can I love you like you asked
like a free and inner child innocent and mild

One hundred million years is oh so fleeting
One hundred million years is worth repeating
I'm runnin out of time
can you love me knowing I'm
like an old and bitter child but my heart is runnin wild
