Year Of The Tiger

In the year of the tiger, I won't weep and moan
 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
 But love alone keeps us alive
 When we fear we can't 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, you'd best believe
 I am haunted by the visions that I've seen
 On a cold, cruel July
 We didn't know just when the pale horse would arrive
 But love alone keeps us alive
 When we fear we can't 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 didn't know just when the pale horse would arrive
 But love alone keeps us alive
 When we fear we can't 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
