Becoming man

Every tear was the last
Every lone walk in the dark
Every stray dog bark
Every beautiful soul
Then you fell again
And the cows came home to calve

Every betrayal was the last
Every heart break
Every sleepless night
Every enchanted word
So you went back again
And the cocks came home to roost

Every lie was the last
Every goodbye
Every bad dream
Every seductive smile
Till you forgave again
And the roof came tumbling down

With every patch the heart grew stronger
With every lie the naive grew wiser
With every hour the boy became man
