On a gorgeous April morning In the south of England I was floating on a wooden boat Down the stream and far away 'Tween the dew-kissed reeds I sailed A normal day Through the lily leaves, I believe I saw a River Dragon What a wish for spring! A fresh water specimen In a blink she was beside me She gazed at me and cried a melody that stirred the breeze I had never seen a beast like her Not like the dragons I studied at all What a day As a gentle rain baptised my face, I watched the River Dragon Though it seemed unclear - serpents never visit here Something tells me you're not from this stream Pull the boat and we'll head out to sea I will help you find your home River Dragon, so alone Oh, how I tried to help but carried away in river dreams She never wandered from the stream So far from home, oh I know I'm not a River Dragon Lost, lost at sea, Spring has cultivated me Your pleasant home made me long to be a River Dragon Now it's all I know, I've forgotten who I am
