SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

we're locked in a prison

our love is the bars

although they're not cold to embrace

we speak loving tones

through the wires of the phones

which is sweet but it's not face to face
.

the spring is arriving

the snow will soon melt

once or twice you've been asked to the ball

and i know you're distraught

for the suitors are not

who you want as your date after all
.

and how easy it'd be

if it wasn't for me

to go out and just have a good time

to be swept away

be so happy and gay

and it wouldn't cost you a dime
.

but there's expectations

a hug and a kiss

and all of those things lead to more

your strong moral code

couldn't go down that road

it's a path you would never explore
.

just know that i love you

i'm feeling your pain

that's what a true lover will do

and you're still my bride

though i'm not by your side

and our faith must to be strong to get through
.

we're locked in a prison

our love is the bars

i know what you go through for me

i'll join you my dear

everything will be clear

and then both of our hearts will be free
