Tender is the night upon your pillow
Tender is the light above our door
Tender is the night upon this airplane
Tender is the hope of coming home
I will not go down on the feast of Stephen
I will not sail away on the rights of man
Never saw the sun when I was leaving
Sure it shines on you all, now and then
Tender is the night upon your pillow
Tender is the light above our door
Tender is the night upon this airplane
Tender is the hope of coming home
Every trap holds a self-deception
Every sailor allows for time on shore
Oh, leaving is a feeling that I hate but
Homesick is a longing I get more and more
Tender is the night upon your pillow
Tender is the light above our door
Tender is the night upon this airplane
Tender is the hope of coming home
How many times have I sat in this airport
Waiting for the miracle to fly
I say I go to make things better
But life was passing me by
Oh here we cry
Tender is the night upon your pillow
Tender is the light above our door
Tender is the night upon this airplane
Tender is the hope of coming home
Tender is the night upon your pillow
Tender is the light above our door
Tender is the night upon this airplane
Tender is the hope of coming home
Yeah, tender is the hope of coming home
