Wife, love of my life,
Tenderness is your name
When love’s your game

Would that you tame
the flame of your pain
And I the shame
that drives me insane

Let them wane, and we’ll wax
Wise with the main idea
C’mon, it’s so clear
We’ve got to hear the call

And see over, under
And through the wall
To what lies beyond
Like a pet turtle
Returned to the pond

The years of tears
Give way to a joy
That falls like rain
And we are united again,
Washed of our sin

I say enough
Let freedom ring!
And you and I sing
Sweet harmony
