Beneath the stars I lay you down
And weep beside you on my knees
What use is me being a clown
When our love slowly flees
Is there a cure to what you caught?
Can I somehow bring joy?
Your happiness escaped, no matter how i fought
Because in the end, I was a little boy
Your family all gathered round
Your cousin read some words
And all your years circled around
As in my mind i saw collision of our worlds
Why couldn't I appreciate
What offered you to me
You were my life's affiliate
But in my heart you saw just me
I tried real hard to make it work
How was I to explain?
That love between us just wont work!
And nothing more from this could we both ever gain
