(Butcher / Somerville) |
|
He remembers at 14 |
|
He knew what he wanted |
|
He wanted a man no psychiatry |
|
Just to be held to be told it was alright |
|
All he got was a hospital bed |
|
And some pills to sleep at night |
|
In his mind were images so divine |
|
But in his life it was a hell of a time |
|
They locked him away |
|
Because he dared to love |
|
A boy with a man of his own |
|
He wonders if anyone |
|
Has ever heard of him |
|
They kicked in the door |
|
Acting like there was |
|
Some kind of murder going on |
|
Made there love seem dirty |
|
Called him sick called him queer |
|
The law was against him |
|
He was 25 his lover 16 |
|
Couldn't believe it was happening |
|
It seemed so unreal |
|
But a cell 12 by 8 made it all so very real |
|
They locked him away |
|
Because he dared to love |
|
A boy with a mind of his own |
|
He loved a boy with a mind of his own |
|
Where is the crime, where is the crime in love |
|
He loved a boy with a mind of his own |
|
They locked him away |
|
Because he dared to love |
|
A boy with a mind of his own |
