Conversation Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

He comes for conversation 

I comfort him sometimes 

Comfort and consultation 

He knows that's what he'll find 

I bring him apples and cheeses 

He brings me songs to play 

He sees me when he pleases 

I see him in cafes 

And I only say, hello 

And turn away before his lady knows 

How much I want to see him 

She removes him, like a ring 

To wash her hands 

She only brings him out to show her friends 

I want to free him 

Secrets and sharing soda 

That's how our time began 

Love is a story told to a friend 

It's second hand 

But I'll listen to his questions 

I'll give my answers when they're found 

He says she keeps him guessing 

I know she keeps him down 

She speaks in sorry sentences 

Miraculous repentance's 

I don't believe her 

Tomorrow he will come to me 

And he'll speak his sorrow's endlessly and he'll ask me why 

Why can't I leave her 

He comes for conversation 

I comfort him sometimes 

Comfort and consultation 

He knows that's what he'll find 

He knows that's what, he'll find
