Oh dear Valentine
Before your mind went
You were always fixing
All things broken
All things bent
Jacking up the house
Where the foundation was going
And showing your young son
All the worlds you were knowing
'Til the voices crowded out your mind
I know you did your best, Valentine
Three kids and a wife
And a job with the State
Until the earth within
Began to crumble and to shake
Around every corner
A lurking danger
In the eyes of the family
You grew to be a stranger
As the voices crowded out your mind
I know you did your best, Valentine
Your kids are doing just fine
Your legacy is life, Valentine
Valentine, Valentine, Valentine
