Alas, I care not what others may say

Your love and protection

Is all that matters to me, my love

Striding through the bustling streets

Of another grey, London morning

Businessmen of Whitehall

To the free spirits of Soho

Grace my eyes

Seeing the spring in my step

My world, a colour dream

Amongst the black and white

Reflections catch my beaming eye

And I see the reason

Behind my uncontainable smile

The velvet ribbon resting proudly

Around my neck

Teardrop pearl at the base of my throat

To the world, just another meaningless trinket

To us, something so much more

My collar, our secret, my love

My vow to you, yours to me

I am yours, dear Sir

And yours I shall stay
