Lyrics
Tender Years
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lying in his bed, lost his soul to another world.
The thought of her releases, the kind of thing he could never recover.
(Bridge)
If you need a little time work it out, just take your time.
If you need a little time work it out, just take your time.
(Chorus)
Only time has to pretend, there's no love in the end.
There's no winners in a losing game, no messages to send.
There's no witness for their sins, all the captains and the kings.
But the bitter taste of loneliness spent in the tender years.
Playing with my life.
Should I stay at all, should I cross that line.
Your life still surrounds me,
Never felt so bad, it's so lonely without you.
(Bridge)
If you need a little time work it out, just take your time.
If you need a little time work it out, just take your time.
(Chorus)
There's no telling how, one day everything, now to lose it all.
Rain keeps falling hard, killing every hope that I ever had.
(Bridge)
If you need a little time work it out, just take your time.
Well if you need a little time work it out, just take your time.
(Chorus)
