Set The Tigers Free-Villagers

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 it's your turn to disappear I'll be cheering from the sidelines with a sandwich and a beer 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 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 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
