Neither Fish Nor Flesh

Billy was a young boy 
Who's fate did decree 
That he would like only other boys 
So being with a boy came to him naturally 
Billy was a green boy
 His thoughts so naive 
He wondered why he was so victimised 
And his fear brought him close to me suddenly
Billy was a sick boy
 His life fading to grey
 He tried to grab for straws of family 
But his loved ones turned young 
Billy away Billy died a young man 
His face to the wind And of the things 
I regret the most 
Was seeing how hate and fear killed a friend


But Billy my friend 
Don't fall in love with me I'm not that kind of guy 
But I'll stand by your side If you need me to be


But Billy my friend Don't fall in love with me 
Though it can't be wrong to be To be what you are
