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, 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, 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
