Give Me A Sign
Tiger and Dragon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to hold it in the palm of my hand
It was just one more thing I couldn't understand
I had to let it go
I couldn't quite grasp
All the secrets in our past
But I learnt that
Without the sun to cast a shadow
There's no shade to hide in

I just can't take this light anymore
Give me the night to hide in
I just can't take this light anymore
Give me the night to hide in

Now I walk barefoot on the desert sand
I missed my only chance to leave this mortal land
Where will I walk now
Well I don't really know
I just need to find the night lest the sun burns up my soul

Because I just can't take this light anymore
Give me the night to hide in
I just can't take this light anymore
Give me the night to hide in
I just can't take this light anymore
Give me the night to hide in
I just can't take this light anymore
Give me the night

I tried to hold it in the palm of my hand
It was just one more thing I couldn't understand
And now I stand here in the night and I feel so cold
Where is the balance of which I've been told
I will stand here at the edge of the horizon




Where I will wait for the sun to rise again
Where I will wait for the sun to rise again
