Tender Lyrics

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
