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
