The Bullet In My Body

There is a bullet in my body, some kind of shrapnel 
I got from the war I fought
With a boy who can’t be bought
Not with trinkets polished to gold
Not with promises of growing old
Only the truth raises his eyes
And lets him see with no disguise
As he looks into me
Letting part of it go free
As it struggles to get loose
What is the point that you prove
When you seek to impress
Me so you can see me undress
In your mind
And I ask what’s left behind
In the water that we find
Somewhere on the shore
And I visit Loch Lomond and adore
The wilderness of mountains frame
When the English played their games
With the lives of their so called subjects
But I reject
Their colonial expanse
That would have killed the dance
Every human heart is party to
And I see that freedom in you
As you fight with me
And you don’t know that your integrity
Is my favourite thing about ya
Did you think I doubt ya
When you say that no means no
And I love you but I let it go
And trust that fate will bring us together
In this sea of highland weather
The Celt in my bones
Won’t leave it alone
And I just call you “one more time”
Would it be a crime
If I crossed your girlfriends line
That has been drawn in the sand
And I cannot love someone else’s man
Though I do
My soul will ever call to you
Across the ocean between us
I think God might dream us
When we conceive of a future we own
And do you lose if the game has been thrown?
