(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
|
