Tenderly

The air is cooling and
the sun's going down
The day's beeen grueling
in this dusty old town
My body's aching I meant to tell you
something
It was on the tip
of my tongue

Words rush by so quickly
And it's too late
to take them back
I tried to say I'm sorry
Ad that goodbye
was just an act

(refrão)
But all my words
got in the way
And all the things
I meant to say
Were not the things
you heard
Oh, why'd you had to go
and take me
at my word

Words
come back to haunt you
Yeah, they just keep
Hanging around
I still can hear the echo
I still can hear
their andgry sound

(repete refrão)

Words can say I love you
Oh, words can break a heart
I should have
stopped you leaving
and told the truth
right from the start

(repete refrão)
