All right we had a row
That I won’t disavow
Between me and my lovely frau
God, she had a cow
Over some silly matter
I didn’t say she was getting fatter
At least it wasn’t directly at her
Just mentioned she could use a bigger platter
Get out, you coldhearted *******
Go out again and just get plastered
Too much pride to see a pastor
This marriage's a total disaster
It’s freezing outside
And that’s not just the downside
I know at home she has cried and cried
And I admit that I lied and lied
What has happened to our loving way
Perhaps I can’t ignore any distressful day
Felt compelled to drag it home in full display
Whine about the unjust pay
I swear I’ll turn things around
Focus on the home ground
Remember what once we found
Recreate something profound
Can’t go home with so much anger
Swimming in a sea of languor
A clenched fist can’t find home in a glove
But an open hand can touch fingers of love
