Here I am standing at your window again
|
Waiting for you to say go away or come in
|
I'm your locked door's worst knocker
|
I'm your curtain's best friend
|
I'm trying hard to love you you don't make it easy Babe
|
I'm trying hard to love you I'm looking for an easy way
|
Your friends ask about me you say I can be found
|
With the cheap romance novels with their spines battered down
|
Oh the heart has no bones you say so it won't break
|
But the purpose of loving is the pounding it takes
|
I'm trying hard to love you you don't make it easy Babe
|
I'm trying hard to love you I'm looking for an easy way
|
The ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots
|
And though they're your hair that don't mean I'm not caught
|
I know the song of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor
|
But that new thing you've got I've got no clue what it's for
|
I'm trying hard to love you you don't make it easy Babe
|
I'm trying hard to love you I'm looking for an easy way
|
With fortune's rocks millstones you hang round my throat
|
And a brick for my window weighted down with a note
|
I hope you find someone just as hard as you come
|
In this hard world sadly that's so easily done
|
I'm trying hard to love you you don't make it easy Babe
|
I'm trying hard to love you I'm looking for an easy way
|
I'm trying hard to love you you don't make it easy Babe
|
I'm trying hard to love you there's gotta be an easy way
|
