Tender Through the Night
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Far off there's a train that hums low beneath the floor
and the whole dark room seems to breathe along in time
a rumble so soft it could be your own heartbeat
and I hold you closer, wanting nothing more

[Chorus]
Brenda, the night has nowhere else to be but here
every worry of the day can quietly disappear
you are held, you are warm, you are tender
and Brenda, I've got you, so there's nothing to fear

[Verse 2]
The engine fades away down some track we'll never see
carrying its noise off into the far September dark
but you stay right here safe in the crook of my arm
wrapped in a stillness that belongs to you and me

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere out there the whole wide world keeps turning on
but in this room it's only breath and lamplight low
and my heart is already halfway into song

[Chorus]
Brenda, the night has nowhere else to be but here
every worry of the day can quietly disappear
you are held, you are warm, you are tender
and Brenda, I've got you, so there's nothing to fear

[Bridge]
Let the far world hum and rumble as it will
you are the quiet centre it can never touch

[Chorus]
Brenda, the night has nowhere else to be but here
every worry of the day can quietly disappear
you are held, you are warm, you are tender
and Brenda, I've got you, so there's nothing to fear

[Outro]
The floor has gone still now, and the train has moved along
sleep on, little Brenda, safe inside this song
