Tender Is The Night

Just like a celluloid dream she burnt on acetate

Stealing every last scene just smouldering away

Tonight the radio said that now you've passed and gone

As something deep inside breaks, your memory lingers on

The face of the century, this cruel, twisted destiny

A fatal intensity that crossed beyond control

For what it appears to be is life taken needlessly

Oh, but how much you mean to me, god only knows

Tender is the night, I'm lost on the interstate

Tender is the dream with nothing to say

Tendrils of light covered whimsical vanity, render the white to grey

Tender is the night and soft is the tourniquet

Tender is the theme of tears in the rain

Slender is the knife on the wings of insanity, taking your life away

They made a suicide claim with no one else to blame

I know you must have cried out for help that never came

On just how many broken dreams you built your life upon

Remains a mystery and now your suffering has gone

The face of the century, this beautiful entity

A fatal intensity that crossed beyond control

For what it appears to be is life taken needlessly

Oh, but how much you mean to me, god only knows

Tender is the night, I'm lost on the interstate

Tender is the dream with nothing to say

Tendrils of light covered whimsical vanity, render the white to grey

Tender is the night and soft is the tourniquet

Tender is the theme of tears in the rain

Slender is the knife on the wings of insanity, taking your life away

As cruel as love is

The face of the century, this cruel, twisted destiny

A fatal intensity that crossed beyond control

For what it appears to be is life taken needlessly

Oh, but how much you mean to me, god only knows

Tender is the night, I'm lost on the interstate

Tender is the dream with nothing to say

Tendrils of light covered whimsical vanity, render the white to grey

Tender is the night and soft is the tourniquet

Tender is the theme of tears in the rain

Slender is the knife on the wings of insanity, taking your life away

As cruel as love is
