A Dragon’s Tale

In a land many years ago

A dragon lived in his treasure hole

Evil filled his heart and soul as he cried

"Who can be my dinner tonight?

Who'll be my dinner tonight?"

He was greedy, mean and free

Killing people as he pleased

Something changed him and you'll see it was love

Who will be my woman tonight?

Who'll be my woman tonight?

From ruddy nostrils came the fire that showed

His teeth that glistened like the sun

Across the moon he soared with mighty wings

A fire bred charger on the run

As he was flying high, he saw bеlow him

A place he'd nevеr seen before

And slowing down, deep in the trees, he found

A lady crying all alone

Through the sky in the twinkling of an eye

He landed on a mountain close by the sea

Lady smiled with her dragon in the wild in wonder

That his love now seemed to be free

The dragon's breath drew close with flames so strong

He dried her tears and cracked the trees

Green scale upon his back and long forked tail

A wicked smile into the breeze

The dragon snorted flame in joy unguessed

Dancing in the moonlight by the shore

They smiled and kissed and knew eternal bliss

The dragon lived forever more

Dragon smiled, how his lady drove him wild

He held her with his wings wrapped close by his side

Built a nest with some gold upon the crest

And love grew and his fury slowly had died
