[00:00:00] The Carmichaels - Al Stewart

[00:00:04] Written by：Al Stewart

[00:00:08] Mr Carmichael says that he loves his wife

[00:00:12] I believe he does

[00:00:16] Gives her everything that

[00:00:17] A man can give

[00:00:23] But Mr Carmichael beggars

[00:00:26] Himself on the altar

[00:00:28] Of his love

[00:00:30] And you can tell him that

[00:00:32] That's not the way to live

[00:00:38] And oh how the wind has blown

[00:00:41] The leaves from the linden tree

[00:00:45] And oh when the night grows free

[00:00:49] Why does Mrs Carmichael come to me

[00:01:01] Mrs Carmichael rises at ten takes her time

[00:01:05] Is at her ease

[00:01:08] Drinking coffee in slippers and negligee

[00:01:16] Opens the door and the milkman

[00:01:18] Brings her dreams

[00:01:20] There's no one sees

[00:01:23] Except the statue of venus and she won't say

[00:01:30] And oh how the wind has blown

[00:01:34] The leaves from the linden tree

[00:01:38] And oh when the night grows free

[00:01:42] Why does Mrs Carmichael come to me

[00:01:53] Oh Mr Carmichael captain

[00:01:56] And star of his office

[00:01:58] Billiards team

[00:02:00] Smiles to greet the applause

[00:02:03] As his ball goes in

[00:02:08] Hurrying back bringing

[00:02:10] His victory home but there's

[00:02:13] No one here

[00:02:16] And supper waits on the table inside a tin

[00:02:23] And oh how the linden leaves

[00:02:26] Lie tossed as the night wind blows

[00:02:30] And struck in his silent pose

[00:02:34] Mr Carmichael weeps and there's no one knows
