Lyrics Tiger Mountain Peasant Song - Fleet Foxes

Tiger Mountain Peasant Song

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
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
Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die?
You tell me everything
Anything true
Into town one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don’t see anybody that dear to me
Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die?
You tell me everything
Anything true
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
