Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a little bit magic
Like a river of morning geese
In the new warm mountain
Where the stone face forms and speaks

[Chorus]
I believe in you
Even when you need to
Recoil

[Verse 2]
When the topsoil
Is kicking up into the storm
And the dust goes dancing
And a billion planets are born


[Chorus]
I believe in you
Even when you need to
Recoil

[Bridge]
Just like that
The moon goes flat
Big lights in the city shine
Crying out
Take me to the limits of your love
[Break]

[Verse 3]
There's a dragon in thе phone line
Coughing up a mighty flame
With a tonguе of silver, silver
Calling out my oldest name

[Chorus]
She says, "Hey, you
Do you remember me too?"
We were coiling

[Outro]
It's a little bit magic
Magic
A little bit magic
Magic

Genius Annotation

This song exists in reference to a line in Adrianne Lenker’s previous song, “anything.”

Dragon in the new warm mountain
Didn’t you believe in me?

Adrianne explains the meaning behind the title of the song in an interview with ABC… “I wrote that as a sentiment that could be repeated between all the band members,” she says.

“It’s like a call to remind myself to really look at things and really pay attention to things and see how miraculous the natural phenomenon of snow, leaves changing, a tree growing, or the ocean [is]… Anything in nature is incredible.

“It can be so easy to go on autopilot. Social media and work and this and that, the maze of all that stuff, and just get on autopilot.

“If my seven year old self could speak to me and if my 80-year-old self could speak to me – like the clarity that you get at the beginning of life, and maybe at the end – to be like, ‘Remember, magic is real. It’s happening all around you. That thing that is so special that feels so alive? It’s always with you.”
