Dragon

Crying, poor me
Flying o’er the sea
Want to lay me down out of sight
Find a place to rest for the night
But there’s no sign of land
No sign of light
And I’m so tired

I’m the dragon, the brave one
I’ve come to capture the maiden

Crying, poor me
Flying o’er the sea
Tired of burning towns
And killing kings
Tired of hording gold
And precious things
Wanna settle down
Hang up my wings
And retire
Stop breathing fire
I’m so tired

Someday Better Be Now

Been eleven years
We’re still here
Someday we’ll learn to live together

Someday the spite
And the endless fight
Will drown in the flood, in the blood
Get washed away forever

Someday better be now
Or it’s gonna be never

Must have been some kind of real fool
To think my love could heal you

Been eleven years
We’re still here
Since we said for worse or for better

You still light the fire
Of my heart’s desire
Someday the anger and the pain
Gonna burn away for ever

Someday better be now
Or it’s gonna be never

Must have been some kind of real fool
To think my love could heal you

Nora Mae

See the sunshine Nora Mae
Let it fill your eyes
It’s the coming of your day so rise

Underneath the frozen snow
Hear the water run
Sleeping seeds are turning toward the sun

And you’re blooming like a flower
Reaching like a tree
Each little moment
Every hour
Endlessly becoming what you’ll be

It’s finally springtime Nora Mae
The winter was so cold
To see you wake’s a wonder to behold

Join our circle Nora Mae
Make up for lost time
Like time lapse photos you grow before our eyes

And you’re blooming like a flower
Reaching like a tree
Each little moment
Every hour
Endlessly becoming what you’ll be

c  David E Russell

Each Forever Again

Time again
Each hour and every day of the week
Each look and every word that you speak to me
Gets right through to me
You know by now
I’d spend it
Each forever again

Time again
They say it’s just a one-way street
So glad I got the chance to meet you here
Blink and it disappears
Let’s spend it now
You and me kid
Each forever again

And I know there’s nothing to be done about it
Since I saw your face my day’s no good without it

Time again
I bless the day that brought you to me
I’ll stay right here where I can see you changing
What you’re becoming now
Each waking hour
I’d spend it
Each forever again

c  David E Russell
