Jump into your car buckle your suitcase
nothing’s felt so right in years
though your lover’s more than you asked for
nothing’s going to keep you here
drive all night by dove
till the sun wakes up
you can wish on a star
just don’t wait till it falls
Let it light, let it light, let it light, let it light, let it light you up
Let it light, let it light, let it light, let it light, let it light you up
you’re coming down with the yellow fever
drinking water through a straw
as soon as your body is able
you’ll grow your dreams up tall
drive all night by dove
till the sun wakes up
you can wish on a star
just don’t wait till it falls
Let it light, let it light, let it light, let it light, let it light you up
Let it light, let it light, let it light, let it light, let it light you up
my dove…

I never thought that I would be the one
to break your little heart into pieces on the floor
and then come back and beg for more
It hurts my head just to feel it all
and every little lie that made us small
leopards in the tall grass creeping
parents keep an eye on your children
I won’t try and deny it, but
I never thought that I would be the one
to break your little heart into pieces on the floor
and then come back and beg for more
It hurts my heart just to think at all
bout every little kiss that I treasured doll
building castles on the water
why do we hide where we falter
There are too many lines on this page to erase and start over
Hold your hands up, let me be the one to tell you I don’t need ya
It hurts my head just to feel it all
it hurts my head
it hurts my heart just to think at all
it hurts my heart
I never thought that I would be the one
to break your little heart into pieces on the floor
and then come back and beg for more

Whiskey Winter

Come on now baby, where did you go
I have not seen you, since the first snow
as soon as those sleigh bells rushed into town
baby you’ve been nowhere, you’ve been nowhere to be found
so come on now honey, oh what’s troubling you so
whisper in my ear, oh I’d like to know
winter can be lonely, and move so slow
so come on drink some whiskey by the fire and warm your toes
Come on now baby, don’t make me beg
my throat’s grown weary from calling your name
as soon as that corn grows from seed to sky
baby i’ll be older, i’ll have left you far behind
so come on now honey, oh what’s keeping you away
whisper in my ear, oh don’t be afraid
winter can be lonely, and chill your bones
so come on drink some whiskey by the fire and warm your toes

Shadows

When i close my eyes you are still beside me
walking right along
it’s the first few breaths of the foggy morning
that steal my heart and my tongue
This love for me boy was like an anchor
stronger than the waves
but if you’re the one who has pulled it up
well then, what else can I say, today
Don’t stop letting me go
spring will come around
and lay her budding crown
upon my head as you slip out of town
When I turn around you are still behind me
singing some old song
it’s the first few breaths on a sunny morning
when I remember you’re gone
This time for me has been like a mirror
forcing me to see
and the hardest part isn’t moving forward
it’s losing you, don’t you see
Don’t stop letting me go
spring will come around
and lay her budding crown
upon my head as you slip out of town
I am starting to forget you, and I don’t want to
but i’d rather let you fade, than live in these shadows
No i don’t want to, keep living in these shadows

More Than Enough

Don’t waste my time
i’d rather be standing on two feet, than balancing on one
Give me a sign
I do my best but I can’t read your mind
I carried all, that water from the spring
to keep our little sprouts growing green
and while you were a hunting in the woods
my heart grew hungry, oh to see your face would do me good
Don’t trap my love, let it run through you as if it were blood
give me a chance, i want to be here but there’s no room to stand
I carried all, that water from the spring
to keep our little sprouts growing green
and while you were a hunting in the woods
my heart grew hungry, oh to see your face would do me good
Tie that bracelet round my little wrist, if it’s summer why am I so cold
wrap that fabric round my swollen face, if you were leaving you’d be gone by now
So give me your hand
oh won’t you come meet me where the sun kisses the sand
See we don’t need much
sharing this breath, well it’s more than enough

Covered in Gold
04:49

It ain’t easy, letting go of you
but i know, it’s what i have to do
when you first held me, I felt so at home
but now when you touch me, I couldn’t be more alone
And it ain’t funny, but i’m laughing all the same
for it was you boy, who first called out my name
and I let you, under my skin
but tell me did you, ever let me in
Just like the night lets the stars fall
what was once ours becomes nothing at all
but there was a time when we were
we were covered, covered, covered in gold
Though I hate, to say goodbye to you
what else babe, what else am I to do
and if you ever, find me on your mind
please don’t call me, unless you really have the time
Just like the night lets the stars fall
what was once ours becomes nothing at all
but there was a time when we were
we were covered, covered, covered in gold
we were covered, covered, covered in gold
we were covered, covered, we were covered in gold

I Want You Out

I want you out, when I get back
I want you gone, and don’t you look at me like that
I’ll miss your hands against my back
but i’m done with wanting what I can’t have
She loved me so, more than I knew
she wanted me, but I didn’t have a clue
so I passed her by with nothing but a smile
i’m done with missing those little signs
I want you out, when i get back
I want you gone, and don’t you look at me like that
I’ll miss the sound, that one you make
but i’m done with waiting for these logs to take
He was the one I called my friend
he knew me like no other man
but that was then and not today
i’m done with being the girl who waits
I want you out, when i get back
I want you gone, and don’t you look at me like that
I’ll miss your hands against my back
but i’m done with wanting what i can’t have

Ghost Tiger Santa Barbara, California
Coming from a variety of musical backgrounds the members of Ghost Tiger combine old and new flavors from the east, west, and south in a synthesis of four-part harmony, atmospheric sound, poly-rhythmic grooves, and soulful vocals that culminate in a refreshing approach to indie-rock. Aptly described once as an "epic, more Bluegrass-folk Bon Iver crossed with the Underground Railroad gone Portland" ... more
