He comes for conversation

 

I comfort him sometimes

 

Comfort and consultation

 

He knows that's what he'll find

 

I bring him grapes and cheeses

 

He brings me songs to play

 

He sees me when he pleases

I see him in cafes

And I only say hello

And turn away before his lady knows

 

How much I want to see him

 

She removes him like a ring

To wash her hands

She only brings him out to show her friends

 

I want to free him

 

Secrets and sharing soda

 

That's how our time began

 

Love is a story told to a friend

It's second hand

But I'll listen to his questions

 

I'll give my answers when they're found

 

He says she keeps him guessing

 

But I know she keeps him down

 

She speaks in sorry sentences

Miraculous repentances

 

I don't believe her

 

Tomorrow he will come to me

And he'll speak his sorrow endlessly and he'll ask me why

 

Why can't I leave her

 

He comes for conversation

 

I comfort him sometimes

 

Comfort and consultation

 

He knows that's what he'll find He knows that's what he'll find
