I Try Lyrics

I wake, curled like a field mouse
Wrapped in your arms, I know
The house is still asleep

Seasons pass in a hurry
"Do not forget", he said
"I know you best of all"

I burn, I break, I try to do right
You ache, you kiss, you curse
But you lie with me tonight

I am a wisp of a woman
Caught in a gust of wind
I disappear, like smoke

You are, cover to cover
From beginning to end, my friend
The man you ought to be

I burn, I break, I try to do right
You ache, you kiss, you curse
But you lie with me tonight

I burn, I break, I try to do right
You ache, you kiss, you curse
But you lie with me tonight
