Swing Tender

Here in these arms
That held on to some sort of truth for a while
You can sleep
If you like
And while you sleep I will sing low to you in a lullaby style
So your dreams may be sweet
If you like

Dream of a universe opening up before you
Swing out on the moon on the wings, on the swings of a love that's new

Here in these arms
That haven't held on to so much for a while
You can stay
If you'd like
And when you wake, well it's just the beginning for us
Yet it could be anything, everything
That you like

Dream of a universe opening up before you
Swing out on the moon on the wings, on the swings of a love that's new
Dream of a universe opening up before you
See how it's beckoning, taunting you tenderly, wanting you
Dream of a universe opening up before you
Swing out on the moon on the wings, on the swings of a love that's new
Dream of a universe opening up before you
Safe till it touches you, clutches you, tenderly taking you

It's not like loneliness
It's not like loneliness
It's not like loneliness
