Tender
Lisa Hannigan
[Verse 1]
Tender as a loose tooth
Askew at the root
My love
You came up swinging
Every morning
Through it all
[Chorus]
Tender is a kiss
While the dancers dip and twist
Under lights in the darkness
We take the long way round again
[Verse 2]
Tender, as a shadow
So fast to follow
A swallow to the summer
Tethered, like a mirror image
A cup and string message
One to the other
[Chorus]
Tender is a kiss
While the dancers dip and twist
Under lights and the dark
We take the long way round again
You came up swinging
Every morning
Through it all
[Chorus]
Tender is a kiss
While the dancers dip and twist
Under lights and the dark
We take the long way round again
