Softly Spoken Boy

softly spoken boy
the object of his thrall
a curious girl at the grocery store
who doesn’t talk at all
softly spoken boy
acted on a hunch
he laid his heart upon his sleeve
and now he's said too much
softly spoken boy
climbed out on a ledge
don’t come any closer to me now
but this is what she said
softly spoken boy
you’ve done nothing wrong
she broke his fall
and her silence with
what took you so long
it’s a love thing
with it’s own song to sing
she really loves him
an that's the sweetest thing
the kind of thing
that happens everyday
