Album: At Swim (2016)

Tender

Tender as a loose tooth
Askew at the root
My love

You came up swinging
Every morning
Through it all

Tender is a kiss
While the dancers dip and twist
Under lights in the darkness
We take the long way round again

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

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

Tender is a kiss
While the dancers dip and twist
Under lights and the dark
We take the long way round again
