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 and the dark
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
