Between the darkness of the cave
And the cockpit fillin' up with light
Between the stillness in my heart
And the roar of the approaching TIEs
Somebody's callin' after somebody
Somebody's usin' the Force with all their might
Lookin' for somebody
Somewhere in a meteorite

Tender is the flight
When I hold my Princess tight
Tender are the motions
Tender is the flight

Between the chase that we expected
And the way we've always been
I can't walk back in again
After the way we fight
Just outside there are Imperials searchin'
Droppin' bombs and takin' leads
While we're chasin' down the love we need
Somewhere on the flight

Tender is the flight
In the benediction of the Tree of Light
Get back, bounty hunters
Tender is the flight

Fett won't take us tonight
We're not ready to surrender
We know the Rebellion's right
And Luke's goin' to remember
It's another galaxy at night
When you're ready to be tender
Tender
Tender
Tender
Tender
Tender

And in the twin lights of Tatooine suns
We don't remember what else was said or done
Tender are the words we choose
You win
I win
We lose

Tender is the flight
In the benediction of the Tree of Light
Get back, bounty hunters
Tender is the flight
When we hold each other tight
Tender is the undercover
Boushh, my secret lover
Tender are the motions
Tender is the flight
When I hold my sweetheart tight
