The Golden Boy

The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace
 He entertained so naturally, no gesture out of place
 His road in life was clearly drawn, he didn't hesitate
 He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of, as the master of his
 Fate
 The girl had an iron soul no-one could recognise
 Material ambition that her gentleness disguised
 She gave herself to him certain of his fame
 Wanted him for luxury, for limelight and his name
 And then he sang to her
 I love you for your silence, I love you for your peace
 The still and calm releases that sweep into my soul
 That slowly take control
 I love you for your passion, I love you for your fire
 The violent desire that burns me in its flame
 A love I dare not name
 His rise was irresistible (yeah) - he grew into the part
 His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
 No base considerations of some glittering reward
 The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored
 I love you (yes I love you) for your silence, I love you for your peace
 The still and calm releases that sweep into my soul
 That slowly slowly take control
 Yes he told the truth (he told the truth), yes he told the truth
 Accepting every honour with a masterly display
 Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
 He started to believe that he was all they said and more (and more)
 While she forgot, she forgot the reasons (reasons)
 She had wanted him before
 (I love you) I love you for your passion (for your passion)
 I love you for your fire
 The violent desire that burns me in its flame (burns me in its flame)
 A love I dare not name
 The still and calm releases (releases)
 That sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul)
 That slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly)
 Slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) take control
 And when at last they fell apart, she wished that she could be
 The hardened heart of yesterday, as cynical as he
 By changing for the better, she had changed things for the worse
 The words that made them happy once now echoed - echoed as a curse
