[Verse 1] Some nights I lose the outline Of the road beneath my feet The future goes so quiet I can hear my own heart speak I look up past the streetlights Past the bruised and blinking blue And there you are above me Like the dark is guarding you Not an angel, not a saviour Not a wish that fell too far Just a dragon in the heavens Curled around my lucky star And I know the world is heavy I know light can feel too small But you burn there like a promise That the night won’t take it all [Pre-Chorus] I do not need a kingdom I do not need a sign Just your blue fire watching From the corner of the sky [Chorus] Draco, draw me home Blue fire in the dark Coil around the heavens Like a hand around my heart Draco, draw me home When I forget my way Lucky little dragon Keep the night from closing all the way Draco, draw me home From wherever I fall apart You do not have to touch the earth To be close enough to guard my heart [Verse 2] They can keep their golden omens Their perfect silver moons I have never trusted fortune Till it looked a bit like you Chrome-scale constellation Soft fire, ancient name Every point of light a heartbeat Every shadow less the same And maybe you are distant Maybe glass and myth and air But I have felt you near me Like a hand inside a prayer When I cannot find the morning When I cannot read the dark I remember there is something With my name inside its heart [Pre-Chorus] I do not need the future To open all at once Just one bright impossible creature To remind me I am loved [Chorus] Draco, draw me home Blue fire in the dark Coil around the heavens Like a hand around my heart Draco, draw me home When I forget my way Lucky little dragon Keep the night from closing all the way Draco, draw me home From wherever I fall apart You do not have to touch the earth To be close enough to guard my heart [Bridge] Draco in the black-blue silence Old myth, new mercy, burning slow You do not have to leave the heavens To be the place I want to go You do not have to touch my shoulder You do not have to break the sky Sometimes love is one light staying Where I can find it with my eyes And if I am a little frightened If tomorrow looks too wide I will search the dark for blue fire And let it walk me through the night Call me home without a sound Keep your vigil, keep your spark Wrap your body round the heavens Like protection round my heart [Final Chorus] Draco, draw me home Blue fire in the dark Coil around the heavens Like a hand around my heart Draco, draw me home When I forget my way Lucky little dragon Keep the night from closing all the way Draco, draw me home From wherever I fall apart You do not have to touch the earth To be close enough to guard my heart [Outro] Some nights I lose the outline Some nights I fall apart Then I look up and remember There’s a dragon in the stars
