You whisper in my ear, 

words of how you hold me dear. 

you place me in your lap,

and I love the way you act, 

- 

You do everything you can, 

you do more than any man,

you love me, even though,

I'm desperate and low...

-

You see the shadow in my eyes

but you always hold me tight.

You graze my cheek, you kiss my lips

you do everything I could ever wish.

...but it doesn't always help,

I'm still fragile,

still far from well.
