Year of the Tiger

In the year of the tiger, I won't weep and moan

And got no time for cooling heels, I've got to roam

In the year of the tiger, I'm gonna roll these bones

Gonna leave behind the heartache that I've known

The only love I've 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 I'll be damned to see them suffer one more day

On a cold, cruel July

We didn't know just when the pale horse would arrive

The love alone keeps us alive

When we feel we can't go on at all, mmm

In the year of the tiger, I heard a nightmare scream

Cut above the dam of every future dream

In the year of the tiger, well, you best believe

I am holding by the visions that I've seen

On a cold, cruel July

We didn't know just when the pale horse would arrive

The love alone keeps us alive

When we feel we can't go on at all

We 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 not time to waste

A resolution to keep fighting and remain

And on a cold, cruel July

We didn't know just when the pale horse would arrive

The love alone keeps us alive

When we feel we can't go on at all

Can't go on at all, yeah, yeah

In the year of the tiger

In the year of the tiger

In the year of the tiger

In the year of the tiger, oh
