Romanovsky & Phillips - Family Of Lovers Lyrics
To Jay, whom I forgot to thank, and to the previous generationof 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 gratefulAnd glad that you were thereIn a world that doesn't see usIn a town where time stands stillA young boy dreams of loving menIn a land of Jack and JillWell I was so naive back thenAnd you were somewhat jadedBut I recall your kindnessThough our friendship has since fadedYour house became an oasisFrom a home so unawareOf my need to feel acceptedIn a world that didn't careWell who else could have told meWhat my parents could not explainAnd saved me from self-hatredConfusion, doubt and painWere you robbing the cradle?Or was I robbing the rocking chair?All I know is that I'm gratefulAnd glad that you were thereIn a much more uncertainWhen my song was yet unsungIt was you who helped me to grow upWhile I helped you to stay youngAnd it makes me feel a part ofA family of loversWho survive a life of exileBy caring for each otherI'm not the first one to sufferAnd I'm probably not the lastBut I'm here to change the future'Cause I can't forget the pastWere you robbing the cradle?I'm glad that you were there
