lyrics

i’ve got this tiger by the tail
i will try but for to fail
i must lift another veil
for the queen has grown
too frail to release me
my passion is too strong
i’m dying trying to belong
and you might thing it’s wrong
but when the white bird sings her song,
where will you be?
will you hear the voices ringing?
and my little heart does stray
i just might live another day
if i can only find a way
to stop the fraying of
the fabric of my mind
and i remember you quite well
i dig the stories that you tell
into the sea of you i fell
i shed my skin i broke my shell
but the bard has gone
to sell his song for freedom
and every day since you went away
i wake in the morning
with the sun in my eyes
i would come to you but
you never asked me to
so i will turn my face to the south
and keep traveling on
