THE DRAGON?S LAIR
JPIRARD 2007
(PT TWO OF ?THE DRAGON?S LAIR?)

At the mouth of the river flowing to the see
Sailing outwards to the sun, to be
Something seen in the distance
Something lost to all sight
To become just a memory of the lost night


There! Look there! The shore approaches
Come ashore to the dragon?s lair!

A glimpse of gold, an errand of the fool soon told
Am I too late to escape?
How much can I carry?
Can I afford to tarry more?
What is that sound near the door?

I must leave here, must escape this
Darkened cave with my own prize
Will he catch me?
Will he let me go home with my life, with my life?
Oh fool!



There?s the door, soon a way out
To the sky and safety please
There, there's the door please let me go, I won't say anything of you let me go
------------------------------------


Run! Run away, drop it all and go!
Fool to think that I could get away,
And not be caught
Will I live to be free of the fear
Will I be his next meal?
Oh No!
Praise be! Am I Free? Could it be he let me go?
Sunlight never looked so good before...


------------------

At the end of the rainbow now
I have found a jealous host
Lucky I was to get to leave
My pride the only cost
Now my lesson is learned it seems now
No more senseless never-ending greed
Now for me to head on home
To live another day
