Caitlin Reilly - Tiger Love Lyrics

It’s raining again
Like it always does this time of year
When the heat pushes the French away to the Champs-Elysées
The land I come from waits for me, my boy calls out he says ‘come home please’ I tell him I won’t be long
Behind the house the garden is overgrown covering up what’s been lost
You stand back like you’re in shock and lock the gates cause it’s so easy, when everyone’s gone the traps are set, the rats will run, the fools fall down,
You’re the last one standing I can’t wait to leave
So lift your glasses up, here’s to another year
The snow will melt weakening the chill toss and turn the loneliness won’t win
This love so loud it’s like a tiger in my heart smelling the roses in bloom
All I know about love is once the arrows shot, there’s no coming back no rescue
Dressed up to pay them off when you knew your time was done
You picked the lock stood and watched
Wondering if it was a mean thing that could’ve been stopped,
My heart was lost in the river it went down stream, to some place where the black birds sing
