Billy, I can hear you sing 

seems almost silly now 

like a magnetic field 

switched on somehow 



I think it's safe to say 

I'll watch his chest hair turning grey 

and as the stairs align 

the most unfortunate of signs 

that led me to your arms 

love's not overrated 

not this time 

it's a magnetic field 

switched on somehow 



I think it's safe to say 

I'll watch his chest hair turning grey 

at night when I'm alone 

I know he will be coming home 

perhaps he'll cook a midnight meal 

and I'll smile to let him know I feel 

a different way of still the same
