Dominó
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Domino lean on me
I'm yours forever
I'll do my best to hold you
And if we fall
So what
We might break
We'll take our chances
And my domino
Rises at sunset

Domino, he knows me
Better than I do
He's sleeping now
I watch him
I kiss his face
He smiles
He knows how to love me

And my Domino happens at midnight
He rides on a wave of destruction
He lives for excess and seduction

Domino, my Domino

And Domino dances 'til morning
He rides a black horse he calls danger
Where he goes no-one is a stranger





Domino, my Domino
Ride Domino
