Tender to the Blues Lyrics
Before I jump ship, for cooler shores, may I gently close this account of ours?
Though all that I know and have loved is inside, I'm just losing faith in these costly times
And I pray for your health and you peace of mind
but God must know I just want you by my side
And the mornings I've woken and sought your warmth
If only I'd held you and told you before
But I'm no fool, my heart is just exposed, I'm just weathering the flows
And I'm not the man you thought, I suppose, you leave me tender to the blues
And you phone me to tell me, of these regrets of yours
but I've been lying awake until the small small hours
And the wise men say I should fight for my cause
but I'm all punched out, and just so so tired
But I'm no fool, my heart is just exposed, I'm just weathering the flows
And you're not the girl I thought I suppose, you leave me tender to the blues
Though all that I know and have loved is inside, I'm just losing faith in these costly times
but God must know I just want you by my side
And the mornings I've woken and sought your warmth
If only I'd held you and told you before
And I'm not the man you thought, I suppose, you leave me tender to the blues
but I've been lying awake until the small small hours
And the wise men say I should fight for my cause
but I'm all punched out, and just so so tired
And you're not the girl I thought I suppose, you leave me tender to the blues
