lyrics

Orphan Boy

An orphan boy keeps me at an arms distance

He won’t give me straight answers, no and he set me up for clues

He makes me want to shake him but he’d probably disappear

He’s not much for hanging out and he makes it very clear

For if an orphan boy were to fall in love with a girl

Surely this would equal his merciless and quiet demise

And he says to me “girl don’t you know when your contemplating loving an orphan

You’ve got nothing to lose but your own sweet little day dream heart”

An orphan boy can steal you with his assembly of thoughts

And I must admit it was his story that slayed me at the start

And it’s his glory in the portrayal that keeps him moving on

Just a little of your sight, just beyond your touch

And I crave his kiss oh, like it’s the last kiss on earth

And he moves like a tide with a mood he can welcome himself

And before you know it he’s packing it out and I feel myself fall

Feeling like an orphan too cause he’s all I want

To love an orphan boy

Its like trying to feed a roving man

And on days when he can feel his heart slip into the right place

He likes to believe that it’s his mama still keeping an eye on her little man

And when he’s lonely he pulls me in closer and the deeper I crawl

To see that orphan boy break down and ball

Like a baby in my arms

I want to love you, hold you close and warm

I want to cover you up, keep you for my own

Oh, I want you, I want you, I want you

Orphan boy

“Yes only love can break your heart”

“Yes only love can break your heart”

“Yes only love can break your heart”

“Yes only love can break your heart”

Orphan boy
