lyrics

THE TAMER (written by Tom McBride)

Was a time you were
And a time you were not there
Like the tales
Whispered in your blank stares

I can't believe you were the tamer
Out to win
Now you work real hard
And rest alone

I was easy to find
When you weighed me down
You'd keep me in time
While you'd spin me 'round

But all those days
They didn't drag me away
Still can't believe
You had nothing to say

Anytime you want to run around
Anytime you want to leave your ground
Anytime you want to let me down
I'll be exactly where I won't be found

Now there's a rose
Wasting out on the vine
I won’t find you
Just for a good ol’ time

I believe there was a time
You did understand
But that eclipsed when the shroud
Touched your hand

Anytime you want to run around
Anytime you want to leave your ground
Anytime you want to let me down
I'll be exactly where I won't be found

Anytime you want to run around
Anytime you want to leave your ground
Anytime you want to let me down
I'll be exactly where I won't be found

Was a time you were
And a time you were not there
Like the tales
Whispered in your blank stares

I can't believe you were the tamer
Out to win
So you work real hard
And rest alone
