Tyger, Tyger (2019)

Toy soldier
Aged with rust
Tiny bear
Covered with dust
Weathering time
Because they must

For love
(For love)
Still they stand
(They stand)
Awaiting the touch
Of a little hand

[Chorus]
Oh, where did he go? (Where did he go?)
Oh, what did we do? (What did we do?)
Still we stand
Loyal and true
Oh, where did he go? (Where did he go?)
Oh, what did we do? (What did we do?)
Alone and waiting for
Little Boy Blue
Oh, Little Boy Blue (Where are you?)

Seems just days
Since he placed them there
Years have gone
But they're unaware
Weathering time
This loyal pair

For love
(For love)
Still they stand
(They stand)
Awaiting the touch
Of a little hand

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Don't you move
And don't you stray
He said before he left
Wait for me
I'll come for you
And then again we'll play
And giving each a kiss
He was off to dream
It seemed only yesterday

He left that night
On angel's wings
And gone he remains
His friends still wait
Weathering time
Until he calls their names

For love
(For love)
Still they stand
(They stand)
Awaiting the touch
Of a little hand

[Chorus]
