Year of the Tiger

In the year of the tiger, I wont weep and moan
Got no time for cooling heels, Ive got to roam
In the year of the tiger, Im gonna roll these bones
Gonna leave behind the heartache that I've known
The only love Ive known has slipped away
The only love I've known has gone away
In the year of the tiger, I'm gonna stake my claim
Run a thousand miles beyond this house of pain
In the year of the tiger, I got my kin to save
And Ill be damned to see them suffer one more day
On a cold, cruel July
We didnt know just when the pale horse would arrive
But love alone keeps us alive
When we fear we cant go on at all
In the year of the tiger, I heard a nightmare scream
Cut above the din of every future dream
In the year of the tiger, well, youd best believe
I am haunted by the visions that Ive seen
On a cold, cruel July
We didnt know just when the pale horse would arrive
But love alone keeps us alive
When we fear we cant go on at all
Can't go on at all
In the year of the tiger, into an ocean grave
Threw his ashes to the wind then walked away
In the year of the tiger, I got no time to waste
A resolution to keep fighting and remain
On a cold, cruel July
We didnt know just when the pale horse would arrive
But love alone keeps us alive
When we fear we cant go on at all
Can't go on at all
In the year of the tiger
In the year of the tiger
In the year of the tiger
In the year of the tiger
