Bob Catley - Tender is the Night

Текст песни

Just like a celluloid dream
She burnt on acetate
Stealing every last scene
Just smouldering away
Tonight the radio has said
That now you’ve passed and gone
As something deep inside breaks
Your memory lingers on
The face of the century
This cruel, twisted destiny
A fatal intensity
That crossed beyond control
For what it appears to be
Is life taken needlessly
But how much you mean to me
God only knows
Tender is the night
I’m lost on the interstate
Tender is the dream
With nothing to say
Tendrils of light
Covered whimsical vanity
Render the white to grey
Tender is the night
And soft is the tourniquet
Tender is the theme
Of tears in the rain
Slender is the knife
On the wings of insanity
Taking your life away
They made a suicide claim
With no one else to blame
I know you must have cried out
For help that never came
On just how many broken dreams
You built your life upon
Remains a mystery
And now your suffering has gone
The face of the century
This beautiful entity
A fatal intensity
That crossed beyond control
For what it appears to be
Is life taken needlessly
But how much you mean to me
God only knows
Tender is the night
I’m lost on the interstate
Tender is the dream
With nothing to say
Tendrils of light
Covered whimsical vanity
Render the white to grey
Tender is the night
And soft is the tourniquet
Tender is the theme
Of tears in the rain
Slender is the knife
On the wings of insanity
Taking your life away
As cruel as love is
The face of the century
This cruel, twisted destiny
A fatal intensity
That crossed beyond control
For what it appears to be
Is life taken needlessly
But how much you mean to me
God only knows
Tender is the night
I’m lost on the interstate
Tender is the dream
With nothing to say
Tendrils of light
Covered whimsical vanity
Render the white to grey
Tender is the night
And soft is the tourniquet
Tender is the theme
Of tears in the rain
Slender is the knife
On the wings of insanity
Taking your life away
As cruel as love is
