dragon eyes - Adrianne Lenker

Freezing at the edge of the bed

Chewing a cigarette and repeating

Shadows of words I said

I don’t wanna blame you

I don’t wanna blame

Stars bloom in the warm summer night

They have a clear view

Without the bedroom light

They don’t wanna name you

They don’t want a name

Dragons have silent eyes

Cracked eggshells, fireflies

I don’t wanna tame you

I don’t wanna tame

When the hot sand burns my feet

You have cool hands, you are sweet

I don’t wanna change you

I don’t wanna change

Carnations into the vase

Unfold your clothes, out of the case

I just want a place with you

I just want a place

As the coastline is shaped by the wind

As we make love and you’re on my skin

You are changing me

You are changing

Stars bloom

On a warm summer night

They have a clear view

Without the bedroom light

I just want a place with you

I just want a place
