He comes for conversation   I comfort him sometimes   Comfort and consultation   He knows that's what he'll find      I bring him apples 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
