Darling wife, my darling wife
Won't you stay awake another life
Our kids have grown, they've left our home
They are doing fairly well out on their own
Don't work too hard
My darling wife

Do you recall our citadel
The chlorephyllic wedding bells
We sailed in spite of the putrid gales
To the land where we were free to fail
We hid our scars 'neath mid-priced cars
We fed our foes a feeble flower
We worked our grimace into a glower
When we were young birds
Red white and blue birds
Red white and blue birds
No don't forget the yellow birds

Darling, wife
Do not close your eyes
Darling, wife
