Tender Is The Night Lyrics

Lyric discussion by dublinboio 

Cover art for Tender Is The Night lyrics by Jackson Browne

I believe this song is about how all relationships revolve around what happens at night time...for instance he describes the "stillness in my heart and the roar of the approaching night" showing its day time now and there is stillness, but there is a roar approaching..the night. People brake up and make up at night "Somebody turns the corner out of sight" "When you hold your baby tight"

Also there is a sense of nostalgia in this song as jackson remenisces about the love he and his partner used to have "When just outside there are people laughing Living lives we used to lead"

one of my favourite songs by him.
