As the wild wind swirls about my bed,
Images of you blaze inside my head
Exciting, enticing, dangerous and frightening
Teasing but inviting
It's an addictive game
Keep me safe, keep me warm,
Lend me your physical form
Spoon feed me love, it's my drug
Be it kiss, be it hug
Baby boy
Ecstasy
So much joy
Share with me
Here when I bleed, here when I need some affection
You're my rock, you're my life
My tall steadfast knight
The center of my attention
You're all the above, the one that I love,
But just in my head
Alone in my bed
Still keeping me safe
Just far, far away
Baby boy is a soldier
