Simon Tall - Tigerlily River Lyrics

Tigerlily River where the boy he learned to fly
With deepening awareness and a glint upon his eye
And the Angels came down from Nashville
And they all sang country songs
Like heavenly hosts and praiseworthy ghosts
A hundred miles so high, oh my
Tigerlily River runs with all his hopes and dreams
It splits from tributaries into golden pools and streams
And the angels come down from Nashville
And they all sing country songs
Like the mermaid calls and waterfalls
A thousand miles so high, oh my
But we're all just so isolated now
But this won't last, all things must pass and how
When the river that we know runs clean
Tigerlily River in his heart and in your hand
Open your box of relics and just listen to the band
And the angels fly down from Nashville
And they all sing country songs
Like the treasured notes and riverboats
A million miles so high, oh my
