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
