The Ballad of the Ward Boy Ward boy doesn't dance for pleasure Ward boy doesn't sing your songs Ward boy listens ward boy answers Think you know him you think wrong First time ever I met ward boy We lay naked in the dark Barely thinking barely feeling I thought I touched ward boy’s heart Ward boy leaps away in anger Ward boy wraps his heart in pain Ward boy’s hurt is like a mountain Do not touch that heart again Ward boy lives inside a tower Ward boy’s room has padded walls In a crystal ward boy watches Who attempts the climb and falls Just one kinsman ward boy sanctions He alone the tower can scale Soothing ward boy with his counsel Only his words never fail Ward boy sees a priesthood forming Pilgrims camp beneath his tower Ward boy waits their passion withers Not for them the ward boy's power Do not doubt the power of ward boy The touch of fire that heals or kills The gaze of ice that paralyzes Ordinary mortals’ wills Ward boy has no need for bondsmen Ward boy fights his war alone Ward boy battles only ward boy Ward boy’s wounds no one can know Ward boy cries but I don't hear him Ward boy's tears are made of dust Ward boy reached out I betrayed him Who is left ward boy can trust Ward boy are you listening to me Ward boy do you hear my prayer Ward boy there's a path to healing Ward boy we are almost there Ward boy doesn't dance for pleasure Ward boy doesn't sing your songs Ward boy listens ward boy answers Think you know him you think wrong Think you know him you think wrong Think you know him you think wrong Everything you know Is wrong hugzu ;-p |
