Tiger On a Gold Leash

A few days ago,
I had you in my arms
We were in your Honda car...
We didn't go too far...too far...

We used to make each other laugh 
Until one of us falls down and coughs
I'm afraid I lost you long ago...
Losing touch of you reduces me to woe

Maybe someday,
We'll be together again
I would be your tiger on a gold leash
I promise I won't let go
Until you let me know
That you've forgotten about me 
Then, I'd leave you be...
Like the waves of the sea

Hmmm mmmm...
Ohhhh ooooh...

Just stay with me for a minute or two
I miss you all the way - this is true 
We were two peas in a pod - now, that is true 
I got to face the music 
I know our time was epic 
But, I need to forget about you
Forgive me with no trace of rue

Maybe someday,
We'll be together again
I would be your tiger on a gold leash
I promise I won't let go
Until you let me know
That you've forgotten about me 
Then, I'd leave you be...
Like the waves of the sea

Hmmm mmmm...
Ohhhh ooooh...

All this time,
I've grown accostumed to you 
Succumbing to the fact that I'd be nothing without you
You are priceless, for you mean so much  to me
You are pure happiness, so will you set me free?

Maybe someday,
We'll be together again
I would be your tiger on a gold leash
I promise I won't let go
Until you let me know
That you've forgotten about me 
Then, I'd leave you be...
Like the waves of the sea

Hmmm mmmm...
Ohhhh ooooh...

Maybe someday,
We'll be together again
I would be your tiger on a gold leash
I promise I won't let go
Until you let me know
That you've forgotten about me 
Then, I'd leave you be...
Like the wicked wind, you'll flee

Hmmm mmmm...
Ohhhh ooooh...

Maybe someday,
We'll be together again
I would be your tiger on a gold leash
I promise I won't let go...
