Be Your Man Lyrics

"down the corridor is the residence of sorrow
i'm creepin on the
hardwood floor
i walk quiet on from where she lay sleepin
in the shadow
of the pale moon
i leave a last tap on the crescent of her hip
my promise
breath in her ear on another night
as i slip away
i wanted to be her
man
i wanted to be her man
i'm waitin to be her man
yeah
i sent
dispatches
well i'm a good lieutenant that way hey
from lonely stations i
make and break promises
the explanations they contain
and i deliver these
disappointments
with a sorrow that grows deeper and deadlier every
day
yeah and i wanted to be her man
i wanted to be her man
i'm waitin
to be her man
and i try and i try 
i try to make it happen
it's so
hard pretending that it don't even matter
understand now 
come back she's
moving in different patterns
she's responding to the constant strain
of
fact, fiction, and promises
and to the harsh truths that they contain
so
i take care, make less noise when i'm here now
so she won't hear me on the
hard wood
on the nights when i've gone away
yeah
i wanted to be her
man
i wanted to be her man
i wanted to be her man
i'm tryin and
tryin
and i gotta make it happen
it's no good pretending that it don't
really matter
and good intending
let's try and send it
and i wanted to
be her man
and i'm waiting to be her man
and i wanted to be her man
and
i'm tryin, tryin, tryin"
