Tenderness and Desire

I take the fast train to the south side of the city

Across the skyline going somewhere that I need to be

Through to my girl, so much more than pretty

And my heart beats easily

And believing in the strangest things

I took a spark in her eye as looking for an answer to a dream

And believing in the strangest things I saw the spark set a fire

She means everything to me

 

She brought the tenderness and desire in to this flesh and bone

She brought the tenderness and desire in to this flesh and bone

 

I catch the last train from the south side of the city

I lost my lifeline, going nowhere and I need to breathe

New to my world there is pain and pity

And I reach for sympathy

And believing in the strangest things

Like a love that never dies

I’m looking for the answer in a dream

But believing in the strangest things

Has made a grown man cry

How could she do that to me?

 

She brought the tenderness and desire in to this flesh and bone

She brought the tenderness and desire in to this flesh and bone

 

And nobody’s gonna say they’re gonna take my love away

Because baby can’t you see, she means everything to me

 

She brought the tenderness and desire in to this flesh and bone

She brought the tenderness and desire in to this flesh and bone
