[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Tender is the night (Tender) When you hold your baby tight (Tender) Tender are the motions, tender is the night [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Tender is the night (Tender) And the benediction of the neon light (Tender) Tender are the hunters, tender is the night [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] (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 [Outro] Tender Tender Tender Tender Tender Tender
