Tender
LISA HANNIGAN · At Swim 2016 · Track 09 of 11
Written by Lisa Hannigan
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
