Dragon Days
Alicia Keys · The Diary Of Alicia Keys [2003]
I'm stressin you
My castle became a dungeon
Cause I'm longing for you
Feeling strong for you
You my knight in shining armor
See Your face in a silver moon
All over the lagoon
and it feels like
Dragon Days
And the fires hot
Like the desert needs water
I need you alot
Dragon days
I need to be saved
I'm missin you
And the days drag on
Desperate for you baby
Do you know what that means
I feel like an addict must feel
when he feigns
In an act of desperation
I get lost in my dreams
Cause like a lady in waitin I'm waitin for you
Prisoner tied over alligator water
Waitin for my prince of paradise to come and take me away from these
Chorus
Don't you wanna play
Chorus
(repeat x2)
