lyrics

oh, tigers -
there are tigers in your eyes.
i had a dream we were swimming
in waters
dark as wine.
you left me some ice on my doorstep;
i was looking for somebody's rainbow.
i fell in a hole you were fixing
all the way down to china -
feet rising up in the air.
you pulled me back out by my hair that turned grey
and held me close and warm
close and warm.
and oh, firelight -
there was firelight on morning snow.

(instrumental)

we sailed out again on a river
that was two inches wide
on a boat that came out of a bottle

and oh, tigers -
i saw tigers in your mind.
and oh, they are burning,
and i'm leaving you behind
yes i'm telling you
goodbye
