The Tiger Lillies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open your eyes
And know your not alone
Dry your tears now
Don't be afraid
Know your not alone
And I will hold your hand
I feel you fear dear
But I'll always be near
Wear your brave face
It's not easy
But I'll always be here
And I will hold your hand
So you know your not alone
And I will hold your hand
Though at times you lost your way
I'll be right here to ease the pain
I will help you through the dark
You're too strong to fall apart
We will be forever true
When things go wrong we'll move along
And I.
And I will hold your hand
And I will hold your hand
So you you know you're not alone
You're not alone
Keep holding on
Keep it strong
I will be there
You're not alone
Keep holding on

La Journaliste Culturelle
Do you believe in good and bad?
Are you happy when you're sad?
Do you believe in your fate
When you're alone?
You'll be raped you’re a pawn
Your hair ripped and burned
You’ll be handled crucified
When you’re alone
You’ll be raped left to die
No one then will for you cry
No one sees you
When you’re down
You’re alone
Well this life, it is cruel
You’re a clown
And you’re a fool
Pauper’s grave it waits for you
You’re alone
So you’re Jesus on the ropes
A messiah without hope
You’re a king 'killed the hope
You’re alone
In your excrement expire
You’ll burn in hellfire
Through the shit and the decay
You're alone
You’re alone
Neville Griffiths
Why do I keep returning through the years to listen to the Tiger Lilies? I know now,it’s because I’m alone

This song made me cry.

ვზივარ ოთახში, შუქს არ ვანთებ მგონია რო ესე უკეთესია, 7 საათი გახდა მე ჯერ არც კი მიჭამია , დაბნელდა უკვე... არაფერი, ისე უბრალოდ.
