When I was a boy
I fell in love with a boy
When I was a boy
When I was a boy
I fell in love with a boy
When I was a boy
It felt so good inside of me
When you found and favored me
Sacred healing of my need
Make me bleed
I recall the way you felt
In my youth I found your breath
And burst alive as silverlight
Upon the soothing rain of night
But I, I was taught to fear and kill you
In my heart I seek your skin this night
When I was a boy
I was driven away
To roam the roads of America
In search of a love that was real
Oh i love him, I
Oh i love him, I
Oh i love him, I
Oh i love him, I
In my dreams you ascend from the sea
Of broken bones and blood-stained sheets
We heal our scars by the salt of our tears
And lay our sex in the grace of the night
And we fly by the starlight
And we fly by the starlight
