A Clay Heart        (C) 1996 N.Thomas / D.Turner         My girl left me yesterday         She said my heart was made of clay         She wanted me to cry and beg her to stay         My friend told me yesterday         That he'd discovered he was gay         I didn't know just what to say         It didn't matter anyway         He said that he'd found some happiness         I told him that my life was a mess         What could I do to learn and understand this crime of mine?         Luckily friendship sees us through
