When Somebody Loves a Man

from Damned Inheritance by Hugo Grayling

/

lyrics

When somebody loves a man,
His heart becomes golden and grand;
His skin becomes patterned with maps of faraway lands.
And the patterns of faraway music spring up where he stands--
When somebody loves a man.

When somebody loves a man,
His promises turn into birds.
And though they might travel the world, and never return,
Wherever they are, they are true--
They are never just words.

When somebody loves a man,
Nobody can steal what he finds.
All that he has is in someone else's mind.
Yet the rooms of his imagination are fragrant and fine,
When somebody loves a man.

When somebody loves a man
His miseries melt into pools
That blossom with colorful life, and sparkle with jewels--
And the secrets he kept in his shame
Become powerful tools.

When somebody loves a man,
Death becomes mortal to him
And once he begins to accept everything he's been,
His death will be less of a finish, and more of a win--
When somebody
When somebody
When somebody
Loves a man.
