SEND NO CLOUDS

SEND NO CLOUDS

Send no clouds across my eyes,
Dragon king, you must be kind.
Send no fire across my nostrils,
No love there will you find.

I am on this lonely ride
Where I cannot see the sun.
I am on the dark side,
Lost to you and everyone.

Send no clouds across my eyes,
Dragon king, you must be kind.
Send no flesh between my fingers,
Let me have my peace of mind.

I am made to build my life with stone,
I am made for braving my seas alone.

Send no clouds across my eyes,
Lay no hands upon my groin.
Send no love to stir my thighs,
I am a drifter who must move on.

Send no clouds across my eyes,
Dragon king, you must be kind.
Leave me lost and leave me bleeding,
Leave me by the roadside.
This body is a danger zone
Set against a desolate sky.
