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 calling after somebody
somebody turns a corner out of sight
Looking for somebody, somewhere in the night
Tender is the night,
when you hold your baby tight
Tender are the motions, tender is the night
Between the 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 are the hunters, tender is the night
You're gonna want me tonight,
when your 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
