A Tender's Heart

A Tender's Heart

Faces fill the public house
From where drunkards dance and stumble out

Sinners saints all kinds and sorts
Pleasure measured by pints and quarts

Keeper, carer and therapist
Dearer then the stories are the people that we share them with

Passion pain and empty carbs
There is patience in a Tenders heart.

Friends appear to share a beer
To dance and sing and bring in cheer

While Guppies and sharks shoot pool and darts
Old men talk about weather women and cars

Patrons play games and lay their cards
Trying to win a Tender's heart

Like scars that show time made its mark
There's pain inside a Tender's Heart

Life served up from behind the bar
There's love inside a Tender's Heart
