Tough & Tender - Harry Manx

Here you are on a stony ground

Cut free long before you found out

You were headed for the rising sun

Once there were two, now there’s just one

Can’t forget, though you wish you could

Conversation that went misunderstood

Came your way, then moved on

Man these blues, whoa, that’s your song

Bearing down with all the force of love

Tough and tender from up above

Ladies waiting, gentlemen to be

That heart of yours beats out a melody

Cool of the morning, just before the rush

Linger 'round, longing for his touch

Essence of you, and of he

A river of truth, yeah, tumbles to the sea

Glad to be here with the tears and the strain

Wishful thinking did nothing for your pain

In for a penny, you’re down for a dime

Your head hangs high for the very first time

Bearing down with all the force of love

Tough and tender from up above

Ladies waiting, gentlemen to be

That heart of yours beats out a melody

Bearing down with all the force of love

Tough and tender from up above

Bearing down with all the force of love

Tough and tender from up above
