From the Rooftops

You see I come to this town every Thursday

To meet a young man for a touch of role play

And I pay him very well

But it's hard for me to tell him

Everything I feel

Can I go on?

By all means

You see me do things people frown upon

Things I've never told anyone

But I never expected

To feel quite so connected or find something so real

More tea cake?

If you don't mind

Now I find myself falling in love

And I don't know if I should say

How I feel

Or should I hide it all away?

See I don't want to scare him

But nor do I really want to share him

You see I long to be free

Just shouted from the rooftops but I don't think I can

As a silver-haired gentleman

Though I'm sure this sounds strange to you

Sometimes I like to lick his shoes

It's just one of the things we do that I may as well reveal

Oh and I would like to show him that I care

By buying him a brand new pair

But I'm not sure how that would fare

How it might make him feel

Now I see you sitting here

A friendly face and a stranger's ear

I have the courage to tell you that I fear

Making the wrong decision

I'm sorry I should go

YOLO

I beg your pardon?

You only live once

Buy him the shoes

Tell him you love him because I had the chance once and I blew it

You're right

What am I waiting for

I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops

So not give a damn

As a silver-haired gentleman

This feeling's growing like a chain reaction

I don't want us to be a transaction

Gonna show him just how I feel

I'll be the man I am

And I just kick the can down the road

No delay or distraction

No more talk I know it's time for action

Gonna sing it loud from the rooftops now

As a brave and proud

Silver-haired gentleman
