"Be Your Man"
	JACKOPIERCE
	From the Album "Bringing On the Weather"


	Down the corridor is the resonance of sorrow
	Creeping along the hardwood floor
	I walk quiet on the from where she lay sleeping
	In the shadow of a pale moon

	I leave a last hand on the crescent of her hip
	My promise breath in her ear on another night
	As I slip away

	[Chorus]
	I'm wanting to be her man
	I'm wanting to be her man
	I'm waiting to be her man
	
	I send her dispatches
	I'm a good lieutenant that way
	From lonely stations I make and break promises
	the explanations they contain
	And I deliver these disappointments with a sorrow
	That grows deeper and deadly everyday

	[Chorus]

	[Bridge]
	And I try and I try
	I try to make it happen
	It's so hard pretending that I 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
	To the harsh truths they contain
	So I take care -- make less noise when I'm here now
	That she won't hear me in the hardwood
	On the nights when I'm gone away

	[Chorus]

	[Bridge]

	[Chorus]
