Take the tiger I gave you years ago Hold it close, so that you’ll know Anywhere that your heart might go Mine will follow, I will follow   So go, state by state, Our time is up Now its too late To figure out if we were meant to be But I’ll sing this song Every night From now on Until the miles cannot denounce a love Take the letter that I wrote for you Read it through, I still love you Though we’ll both find love in another two What’s always true: she’ll never ever be you.    So go, state by state, Our time is up Now its too late To figure out if we were meant to be But I’ll sing this song Every night From now on Until the miles cannot denounce our love

There was a time that I loved you There was a time that I knew That your touch was the only one I'd ever need How I loved you Times have changed, you have changed Your eyes are the same blue, but its not the gaze I knew I loved you There was a time that I'd follow There was a time that youd lead You'd lead me in - to your heart and then you'd give to me Your love's key Times have changed, you have changed Your eyes are the same blue, but its not the gaze I knew I loved you There was a time that I'd dream There was a time you'd dream too We'd make our life into something so incredible Just us two. Times have changed, you have changed Your eyes are the same blue, but its not the gaze I knew I loved you I loved you

I have a little porcupine, his heart's big though he's small He loves the world and wants to live it all I have a little porcupine, he cuts me when I hug He cries cause no one seems to show him love And over my mountain there is a place where we can love Our bodies are not among them, our armor cannot keep out the love I have a little porcupine, he's sad he'll never know the tender touch Of lovers in the snow I have a little porcupine I wish that he could see Without him how empty my life would be And over my mountain, he'll see I love him still Our bodies are not among them, no pain no tears no quill I have a little porcupine, his heart's big though he's small He loves the world and wants to live it all I have a little porcupine, he cuts me when I hug He cried cause no one seems to show him love And over my mountain there is a place where we can love Our bodies are not among them, Our armor cannot keep out the love Our armor cannot keep out the love Your armor cannot keep out the love Your armor cannot keep out my love

I'm thinking of you darlin The way you make me feel I'm dreaming of the day when My thoughts with you are real I'm hoping and I'm praying This isn't just a dream The way you whisper in my ear Just makes me want to sing: cause You make everything feel new But what have I been thinking My mind's been playing tricks A girl like you ain't winkin To mean you're interested So tell me how to read you Show to me all the signs And when we know the language We'll blow away our minds You make everything feel new So wash away the pretense And tell me if its true If its just me that makes sense That I should be with you You make everything feel new

If we lived different lives Then maybe we'd've had more time But as it is I've said all I can say It may be sad, It may feel wrong But that's the ending to our song And now it's time we go our separate way
