tender is the night

now picture this

my point of view

in an ideal world i see the likes of you

such as it is

babes in the wood

at the best of times i feel misunderstood

no work

no play

a million miles away

tender is the night

i'm frantic today

it makes no sense

you'd think of me

when i'm out of place in your society

i want to be

where strangers meet

i want to hold you at the dark end of the street

no work

no play

a million miles away

tender is the night

i'm frantic today

is this the end

then let me know

are you wanting me to stay

or should i go?

your fancy words

spin fast and loose

i'm too tongue-tied for the company you choose

no work

no play

a million miles away

tender is the night

i'm frantic today
