lyrics

From temperate climes, through rain, set sail

Ribbons of water, they sparkle and spangle

In the coming sun, falling through liquid streets

Into the jungle and out of the rain

Steal into dreamtiger eyes and slowly leave behind

Domino days of time, inches of distance

Slip past the double-edged sword of building

The cost of building more, or of just maintaining

Feel the dreamtigers prowling free and easy


But ribbons of memory still tumble and tangle

And turn into questions, "Can your friends trust you now?"
Only dreamtigers never have a need to change

In time, as night declines, fleeting and fading

Ribbons of laughter, they jingle and jangle

And all the dream-tigers retreat back into the trees

With green, smiling eyes, at the coming of the day
