Old Man Luedecke - Tender is the Night Lyrics

I will not go down
On the feast of Stephen
I will not sail away
On the rights of man
Never saw the sun
When I was leaving
I'm sure it smiles on you all
Now and then

Tender is the night upon your pillow
Tender is the light above our door
Tender is the night upon this airplane
But tender is the hope of coming home

You know every traveler has a self-deception
You know every sailor longs for time on shore
Leaving is a feeling that I hate but
Homesick is a longing I get more and more

Tender is the night upon your pillow
Tender is the light above our door
Tender is the night upon this airplane
But tender is the hope of coming home

How many times have I sat in this airport
Waitin' for the miracle to fly high
I say I'll go away to make our lives better
Pretty sure here is where life is passing me by
Now here my cry

Tender is the night upon your pillow
Tender is the light above our door
Tender is the night upon this airplane
But tender is the hope of coming home
But tender is the hope of coming home
