_Blue Tigers_
 by The Gillroyd Parade

I went searching
For the men that
Live forever so
They say

But I found naught
But a blind man
Naked
In clay

He said I am the
Immortal
I have seen ev
'rything

And I've blinded
Myself so I
Don't have to
Again

Chorus:
I am blue
Just like the tiger
In my dreamings
of you

On your boat to
which i'm swimming
but i'll never
reach you



I ran south look-
Ing for tigers
But I found on-
ly stones

That divided
And mult'plied
When you held them
In your hands

And they drove me
Nearly mad with
The way that
They lied

And I gave them
Away to
A beggar
And cried

[Chorus]

I sat down at
A bench with
A younger man
That was me

I told him secrets
Only we knew
But he thought I
Was a dream

I gave him money
Post-dated
But he threw it
Away

I should have known that
I'd never
Convince a skeptic
Like me

[Chorus]

I had grown old
And lonesome
When I met her
In York

The snow was
Heavy falling
As we went out
To walk

By the river
I kissed her
And my heart was
Swept clean

And we lay down
Like two Viking
With no sword in
Between

[Chorus x2]
