Chantry Boy

(Scatting)

I met a man in town today
His eyes blazed like the sun
So I feigned a sudden fainting spell
And beckoned him to come

I know it's quite deceitful
I don't mean to be coy
But the heart wants what it wants
And mine wants a chantry boy

Maybe it's the uniform
Or maybe it's the sword
Or perhaps I wish to touch a man
Who's ne'er been touched before

Why'd the Maker make them lovely
If they're not made to enjoy
Oh the heart wants what it wants
And mine wants a chantry boy

Oh, chantry boy, in your sweetest voice
Would you say a prayer for me
For I'm all alone and Maker knows
I could use some company

He's strong and he is loyal
With such a graceful stride
If Andraste pulled the Maker
I could be a templar's bride

He might recite the Chant of Light
But at least he is employed
Oh the heart wants what it wants
And mine wants a chantry boy

Oh I've worn my cleanest clothes
Brushed my hair a thousand strokes
But he never noticed me
So I guess it's just not meant to be

Still, the heart wants what the heart wants
So you see I have no choice
For the heart wants what the heart wants
And mine wants, oh mine wants that chantry boy
