When the tears are enough And so I have been away What is left to come back to Makes it worse to stay Hiding things from the corners Of the things from the past But the paintings remind me That we were two of a cast Never count on a tiger Never play with the fire Don't remind me of home 'Cause I've been out in the west Writing letters of love That's the law of life I've been filled up with hunger For a mail to be mine I've been building a house too Like I've been building desire Sometimes words are despiteful And sometimes they are blind But my longing is frightful I'm screaming time after time Never count on a tiger Never play with the fire Don't remind me of home 'Cause I've been out in the west Writing letters of love That's the law of life Oh, yeah Never count on a tiger Never play with the fire Don't remind me of home 'Cause I've been out in the west Writing letters of love Oh, hat's the law of life That's the law of life The law of life That's the law of life
