tiger in the night lyrics

You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one who keeps me strong in this world

You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams

All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright

I was the one who looked so hard, I could not see
And now I could never live
Without the love you give to me

I lived like a wild and lonely soul
Lost in a dream beyond control
You are the one who brought me home down to earth

For you are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night

All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright
