You use your big words
Filling the cathedral of your mouth
And little else
No one's listening

Brass lips making brass sounds
Words of importance
That will take significance tomorrow
If tomorrow ever comes

Filling your brass heart
With words spoken in a tongue you can't quite grasp
Filling the empty with nothings and forevers
It doesn't mean ****

You speak your words
For no one but yourself
Find love in others tomorrow
But tomorrow never came

A young man said to a lady
"You'd be pretty if you weren't so fat"
So she sat on his head
And squashed him quite dead
And said "You'd be pretty if you weren't so flat."

When I came out to you
You laughed at me
And I felt like ****
I like you - we went on holiday together
But you don't like me

"Gay guys are alright
But it would be weird to know a lesbian
What if she had a crush on me?"
I like you - you have a cute laugh
But you wouldn't like me

Two girls at the back if the bus
"You guys aren't lesbians are you?
Because if you are, we won't sit with you."
I like you - you're popular and funny
But you wouldn't like me

There's a strange boy at Scouts
"Oh yeah he's such a *******,
he must be gay."
I like you - we went to camp together
But you wouldn't like me

"I was at the cinema the other day
I saw two girls kissing
It was so gross."
I like you - you'd always beat me at cards
But you wouldn't like me

If I told you I was gay
How would you react?
I'd still like you
But you wouldn't like me

Under the willow
Where the flowers make a pillow
And your eyes shine gently like the stars
Under the willow
Where the great wind billows
It's so quiet we can't even hear the cars
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will whisper words of love into your hair
And when your heart is full of ghosts
And you need my heart the most
I'll be underneath the willow waiting there

Under the willow
Where the sun is soft and mellow
As the morning light creates a misty haze
Under the willow
Where your hair it looks so yellow
As the sunrise sets the colours all ablaze
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will whisper words of love to show I care
And when your heart starts to shift
And you think you need a lift
I'll be underneath the willow waiting there

I am the chalk 
And the lines on the page
I am memory
Of books and pens and age
I who stand the test of time
Written in the stone
I am numbers and theory 
Ageless I become

You are the blood and the soil
The cliffs and the sea 
Harsh, like hail
Soft, like the breeze
You are the wind in the sails
You are the butterflies freed

I am hard like glasses
The world in sharp relief
I see the the order so plain
The detail beneath

You are soft and unclear
I can't quite seem to grasp
You're the stars at night time
A mystery shrouded in glass

You are ever changing
I am solid in state
You'll leave me one day in the twilight
And I'll remain here, innate

Her heart was made of flowers
But her outside long decayed
She lived a life of beauty
So in beauty, she stayed

Forever

You might not mean that much the world
But you mean the world to me
Because when we're together
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
I'll take you by the hand
And help you paint the stars
Because when we're together
I forget about my scars

You show me moons and worlds and things
I'd never dreamed I'd see
Because when we're together
I see all you mean to me
I'll look into your eyes
And I'll help you find the light
Because when we're together
I know we'll be alright
