romanovsky phillips – family of lovers lyrics
(to jay, whom i forgot to thank, and to the previous generation
of gay and lesbian people for making my life a little easier. –
rr)
were you robbing the cradle?
or was i robbing the rocking chair?
all i know is that i’m grateful
and glad that you were there
in a world that doesn’t see us
in a town where time stands still
a young boy dreams of loving men
in a land of jack and jill
well i was so naive back then
and you were somewhat jaded
but i recall your kindness
though our friendship has since faded
your house became an oasis
from a home so unaware
of my need to feel accepted
in a world that didn’t care
well who else could have told me
what my parents could not explain
and saved me from self-hatred
confusion, doubt and pain
were you robbing the cradle?
or was i robbing the rocking chair?
all i know is that i’m grateful
and glad that you were there
in a much more uncertain
when my song was yet unsung
it was you who helped me to grow up
while i helped you to stay young
and it makes me feel a part of
a family of lovers
who survive a life of exile
by caring for each other
i’m not the first one to suffer
and i’m probably not the last
but i’m here to change the future
’cause i can’t forget the past
were you robbing the cradle?
i’m glad that you were there
