Rosanne Cash - Dance With the Tiger lyrics

In every woman and man lies the seed of the fear Of just how alone are all who live here Denying the fear is the name of the game To stare at the fear is going insane Forgiving the fear is one up on Cane Is to dance with the tiger And laugh at the rain Don't give me your life, I have one of my own It was a brilliant idea inventing the home Creatures of habit, American fools Reaching for stars while we're standing on stools Letting it go is jumping the train Is to dance with the tiger Letting it go though we won't be the same Is to dance with the tiger Letting it go is the name of the game Is to dance with the tiger And laugh at the rain
