Save My Wife - Kayak

Oh I would give all that I own

Would I be king I’d give my throne

If I could have you back beside me

It all seems like a cruel joke

That leaves me numb, destroyed and broke

I’ve lost the hand I need to guide me

Now what have I done that I deserve this pain

To lose all I have

And to endure this endless shame

I’m calling out but there’s no one there

It’s so unfair, just so unfair

Throughout these lands they know my name

My treatments and my rise to fame

How I fought the plague — just helping man survive

No matter how I seem to win

It doesn’t mean the smallest thing

If I can’t even keep my next of kin alive

And save my wife

My patients are refusing me

Authorities pursuing me

My friends all seem to have departed

If there’s a lesson to be learned

It’s knowing when the cards have turned

And see your efforts unrewarded

'cause what is it worth to hear them sing your praise

One day you’re a saint

The next day you will fall from grace

Laughed about no one to care

It’s so unfair, just so unfair

No one’s ever gonna take her place

In my dreams I’ll always see her face

Her memory will haunt me

While simple folk will taunt me

Should I be angry, should I cry?

Why of all people did she have to die?

And take our children with her

My life’s turned cold and bitter

For the one I couldn’t lose has gone…

Throughout these lands they know my name

My treatments and my rise to fame

How I fought the plague — just helping man survive

No matter how I seem to win

It doesn’t mean the smallest thing

If I can’t even keep my next of kin alive

And save my wife
