Tender

Tender as a loose tooth

Askew at the root

My love

You came up swinging

Every morning

Through it all

Tender is a kiss

While the dancers dip and twist

Under lights and the dark

We take the long way 'round again

Tender as a shadow

So fast to follow a swallow to the summer

Tethered like a mirror image

A cup and string message

One to the other

Tender is a kiss

While the dancers dip and twist

Under lights and the dark

We take the long way 'round again

You came up swinging

Every morning

Through it all

Tender is a kiss

While the dancers dip and twist

Under lights and the dark

We take the long way round again
