There is a look you scarce can hide
Not even when you’re by her side 
And I can see the way she don’t reach
Into the lessons you long to teach
And she may be fine by the beach
But she’s not the one to help you sleep 
By her side 
And you are alive
But you’re in a lot of pain 
I can feel it in the rain 
That pours from your eyes
And if the hero dies
Is the story over 
And I don’t even know her
But I know enough to say
She is not me, okay
And you will never find your truth
In the prism of your youth 
Thinking you’ve won the war
Not realising what it’s for 
And you swore you had one over on me 
But I just set you free
And I know I may not see you again 
Not in this form so I look at other men
And they are wonderous and pure
But I am still fuckin’ sure 
That you’re the one I long to be with 
And I’m not gonna call her a bitch
Just because some theft’s going on 
And I may be gone 
But I still feel you wish 
For my lips to meet your kiss
Like they did on the first day
Our palm to palm and then away
Into the pub where no alcohol is served
And I observed 
That when I swerved 
Away from you
You still pondered what to do
And if you could reach over to me
But thank you for letting me be free
I was too young for sex
Or committing to what you wanted to do next
And I returned several years later
And was enamoured til I realised you date her
All the while I poured my soul 
Into your begging bowl
And you see yourself as pathetic and weak 
Because you did not speak 
Up when you felt the cue
But I’ve always seen the king in you
And he rules the realm of my heart
It only gets stronger since we’ve been apart
