Two young lovers remembered in song
remembered for so very long
The lion an the dragon were proud and strong
The moor and the highland their home
Their love written down in this song

One so fair with gold in her hair
she walked in the garden alone
Her dog was there and they had not a care
as I told her my wanderings from home
She laughed with me and smiled with glee
of the things I told I had done
Listening intently she looked at me
and said "you may be the one"
And said " you may be the one"

She spoke as royal as one could be
I marveled at such a sweet voice
"Come go meet the world with me"
and I helped her to mount my iron horse
We road the Downs the valleys and towns
through all she held oh so tight
We lay in the grass the time would pass
with never a sigh or a frown
With never a sigh or a frown

Two young lovers remembered in song
remembered for so very long
So their lives and their love may live on and on
In the tale of the lion and the dragon
In the tale of the lion and the dragon

The solstice was spent at the giants stacked stones
we watched as the sun slowly shone
Sometimes we stayed at a lost farmer's home
and sometimes we camped all alone
So gentle she touched and wrapped like a vine
when finely the day turned to night
I thought of nothing but to make her mine
and there vowed to make all things right
And there vowed to make all things right

When at last the summer had past
I asked her to come home with me
She said not a word then looked up at last
"I cannot go homeward with thee"
He crossed the seas and road through the trees
to the land that was home to his birth
The long years past and he grew old with ease
to think what it might have been worth
To think what it might have been worth

Two young lovers remembered in song
remembered for so very long
So their lives and their love may live on and on
In the tale of the lion and the dragon
In the tale of the lion and the dragon
