Lyrics of Tiger Mountain Peasant Song by Fleet Foxes

verse

Wanderers this morning came by
Where did they go? Graceful in the morning light
To banner fair
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

verse

Through the forest down to your grave
Where the birds wait, and the tall grasses wave
They do not know you anymore, more
More
More

chorus

Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die?
You tell me everything, anything true

verse

In the town, one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don't see anybody that dear to me

chorus

Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die?
You tell me everything, anything true

outro

Jesse
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
Writer(s): Robin Pecknold
