Tender Is the Night

Between the darkness on the street and the houses filling up with light

Between the stillness in my heart and the roar of the approaching night

Somebody's calling after somebody, somebody turns the corner out of sight

Looking for somebody, somewhere in the night

Tender is the night (Tender)

When you hold your baby tight (Tender)

Tender are the motions, tender is the night

Between a life that we expected, and the way it's always been

I can't walk back in again after the way we fight

When just outside, there are people laughing, living lives we used to lead

Chasing down the love they need, somewhere in the night

Tender is the night (Tender)

And the benediction of the neon light (Tender)

Tender are the hunters, tender is the night

You're gonna want me tonight when you're ready to surrender

Forget about who's right when you're ready to remember

It's another world at night when you're ready to be tender

Tender, tender, tender

Tender, tender, tender, tender

And in the hard light of an angry sun

No one remembers what was said or done

Tender are the words they choose

You win, I win, we lose

Tender

Tender is the night (Tender)

The benediction of the neon light (Tender)

Tender are the hunters

Tender is the night

When they hold each other tight (Tender)

Tender are the undercover (Tender)

The stranger and the secret lover (Tender)

Tender are the motions, tender is the night

When you hold your baby tight

Tender, tender, tender

Tender, tender, tender
