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 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 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...

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...
