Tiger Bay lyrics

Walked away

From the love I gave on Tiger Bay

Walked away

From the love I gave on Tiger Bay

Tiger Bay

Overboard just blew it away, I said

I couldn't hide

Couldn't fight the love I had inside

Tiger Bay

For the love I gave, he turned away

Tiger Bay

For the love I gave, he turned

Walking out on me at Tiger, baby, it wasn’t quite like you, quite like you

Did you mean to do it, did you need to try out something new, something new?

I was thinking 'bout our deep-sea diving, burning love surviving

And the sun was beating down on us, the heat was overpowering

Overpowering

Didn't see a reason for I'd given you more than enough, more than enough

Try to come back with your diverse ways, you're gonna find it rough, find it rough

Apart from leaving me like that, you could have stayed at least another day

We could have talked it over, but for you it's easier to turn and walk, walk away

Walk away from Tiger

Tiger Bay

Couldn't stay

On Tiger Bay

Throwing love away

Told you, I

Couldn't hide

On Tiger Bay

Couldn't fight the love I had inside

Tiger Bay

There I lay

Turned away

Could I fight the love I had and gave?

You could have stayed for just one more day

Asking not to leave me was like saying "Don't come back again"

Even though the waves are crying out, I'm not listening to them

Making up my mind I gave into your thoughts unkind in every way

it's hard to watch you making for the road, it's easier to turn and walk

Walk away, walk away from Tiger

Tiger Bay

Couldn't stay

On Tiger Bay

Throwing love away

Told you, I

Couldn't hide

On Tiger Bay

Couldn't fight the love I had inside

Tiger Bay

There I lay

Turned away

Could I fight the love I had and gave?

You could have stayed for just one more day

Told you, I

Couldn't hide

On Tiger Bay

Couldn't fight the love I had inside

Tiger Bay

There I lay

Turned away

Could I fight the love I had and gave?

You could have stayed for just one more day

Walked away

From the love I gave on Tiger Bay

Walked away

From the love I gave on Tiger Bay

Tiger Bay

Overboard just blew it away, I said

I couldn't hide

Couldn't fight the love I had inside

Tiger Bay

For the love I gave, he turned away

Tiger Bay

For the love I gave, he turned

Tiger Bay (×2)

Told you, I

Couldn't hide

On Tiger Bay

Couldn't fight the love I had inside

Tiger Bay

There I lay

Turned away

Could I fight the love I had and gave?

You could have stayed for just one more day
