I'm your man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man
Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you

El tiempo,
Soledad tras los cristales

Se estira incansablemente
Misterioso y dulce
Desde el fondo
De la fotografía.
Los ojos del niño que fui
Me hablan de un pasado
Que fue eterno,
Y como tal se detuvo.
Misteriosamente desapareció
Aquél pasado
Que hoy miro y pienso
Tras los cristales, eterno
Mientras duró
Como hoy es eterno mi presente.

Pronto, quien ha de nacer
Soledad tras los cristales,
Verá mi fotografía,
La de un joven
Eternamente muerto
Que de pronto pasó
De ser eternamente joven,
Inmóvil,
A eternamente viejo
Luego eternamente muerto.
El tiempo se derrama,
Se esconde
En paréntesis inconexos
Inmutable primero, luego ajeno como un sueño.
El sueño de otro.
