Mr. Carmichael says that he loves his wife, I believe he doesGives her everything that a man can giveBut Mr. Carmichael beggars himself on the altar of his loveAnd you can tell him that, that's not the way to liveAnd, ohh, how the wind has blownThe leaves from the linden treeAnd, ohh, when the night grows freeWhy does Mrs. Carmichael come to me?Mrs. Carmichael rises at ten, takes her time, is at her easeDrinking coffee in slippers and negligeeOpens the door and the milkman brings her dreamsThere's no one sees, except the statue of Venus and she won't sayAnd, ohh, how the wind has blownThe leaves from the linden treeAnd, ohh, when the night grows freeWhy does Mrs. Carmichael come to me?Ohh, Mr. Carmichael, captain and star of his office billiards teamSmiles to greet the applause as his ball goes inHurrying back, bringing his victory home but there's no one hereAnd supper waits on the table inside a tinAnd, ohh, how the linden leavesLie tossed as the night wind blowsAnd struck in his silent poseMr. Carmichael weeps and there's no one knows
