Analysis of Loving a convict
Jacqueline Beard 1986 (California)
Loving a convict
Is hard I must say
You have to admit
It has a high price to pay...
It's loving and caring
With no one to hold
It's being alone
Waiting for time to unfold...
But never stop caring
And always be true
'cuz soon I'll be out
And faithful to you...
Bless you sweetheart
My angel from above
For I am that convict
That is so hard to love.
