You Don't Make It Easy Babe Lyrics - Josh Ritter

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 

[Chorus] 

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

[Chorus] 

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 

[Chorus] 

Photos 

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 

[Chorus: x2]
