lyrics

The tigers cried themselves to sleep
and their stripes fell to their feet,
and they fall asleep so easily,
their fur still wet in the mornings.
They're not like the rest of us,
such hungry lions with no remorse.
No, we have open hearts and open minds.
We are here to sleep in riverbeds
and make new friends, to sing
these old folk songs
and drink on porches all summer long.
I don't know what words to say
that will make you fall in love
with me for the rest of our lives,
but I hope and 'pray' that one day
we'll all have peace, but mostly
that my friends will be happy
and I know there is a song, it hasn't been written,
but we'll sing along when it does.
I don't know what to do on days when it feels
like my heart could either break or burst.
Open hearts and open minds.
And I promise you that all we have got
is all we after, I swear.

Real Live Tigers has had many line-ups since 2004. The project was started by Tony Presley and is often him solo, either on classical guitar or electric, but has been as many as 8 people crammed together on a tiny stage.
