Lyric Conversation

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
