Dragons

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was climbin' a mountain Asleep in the moonlight The ghost of my grandpa came to me in a dream As the stars hung above us He started singing this chorus He laughed loud as heaven and said this to me [Chorus] Take a few chances A few worthy romances Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's Day Don't listen to the critics Stand up and bear witness Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way [Verse 2] We stayed up and talked 'til the sunrise War and love and sorrow He said "Stop spending all your money on forgiveness of sins" Today is all you're promised Don't trouble with tomorrow He faded into the forest proudly singing this hymn [Chorus] Take a few chances A few worthy romances Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's Day Don't listen to the critics Stand up and bear witness Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way [Verse 3] I woke up in a fever Surrounded by lightning All my windows were open and I let the rain flood in The past felt like the present The future uncertain But I sang like a sparrow lost in the wind [Chorus] Take a few chances A few worthy romances Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's Day Don't listen to the critics Stand up and bear witness Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way
