Set The Tigers Free - Villagers

Farewell to my only friend

You’ve been so good to me

Now the carnival has ended

Let’s set the tigers free

The spring was always early

And the winter never came

But since I got this hunger

It just hasn’t been the same

I’m leaving for the great wide open plains

Leaving while this holy spark remains

I see you’ve written promises to make me stay

But it really doesn’t matter now anyway

I’m leaving

True love feeds on absences like pleasure feeds on pain

So no matter where I’m standing I still love you all the same

And I hope you feel the same way when its your turn to disappear

I’ll be cheering from the sidelines with a sandwich and a beer

And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain

I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same

(And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain

I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same)
