Lyrics
[verse]
Oh my love, the night has been so long
Come and lay your head where you belong
I don't need the answers, don't need the fight
Just your breathing steady through the night
[verse]
Oh my love, the world can wait outside
Let the storm blow past us, let it ride
Nothing that they say can touch us here
Just the quiet holding of what's dear
[chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, be tender with my heart
Come on, come on, come on, we'll never be apart
Lay it down, lay it down, whatever's weighing you
Tender is the only thing that's true
[verse]
Oh my love, I'm asking not to leave
Just a hand to hold, a chance to grieve
Everything we lost along the way
Softens when you stay another day
[chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, be tender with my heart
Come on, come on, come on, we'll never be apart
Lay it down, lay it down, whatever's weighing you
Tender is the only thing that's true
[bridge]
Sing it soft now, sing it slow
Every wound will learn to let it go
Love's not loud, it's just a quiet stay
Tender, tender, come what may
[chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, be tender with my heart
Come on, come on, come on, we'll never be apart
Lay it down, lay it down, whatever's weighing you
Tender is the only thing that's true
