Are You Tired of Me Darling
Eternal Vows and Silent Questions: Nanci Griffith's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Are you tired of me my darling?
Questioning if the listener is tired of the speaker.
Did you mean those words you said?
Asking if the listener meant the words spoken.
That made me yours forever
Referring to words that bound the speaker to the listener after marriage.
Since the day when we were wed
Reflecting on the commitment made on the wedding day.
And tell me, would you live life over?
Questioning if the listener would choose the same life again.
Could you make another wife?
Asking if the listener would choose the speaker as a spouse again.
Are you tired of me my darling?
Repeating the query about being tired of the speaker.
Answer only with your eyes
Requesting an answer without verbal communication, only through the eyes.
Do you ever rue the springtime
Reflecting on the early days of the relationship in springtime.
When we first each other met?
Asking if the listener regrets the initial meeting.
How we spoke in warm affection
Recalling warm and affectionate conversations from the past.
Words my heart can never forget
Emphasizing the lasting impact of those words on the speaker's heart.
And tell me, would you live life over?
Repeating the question about living life over.
Could you make another wife?
Reiterating the query about choosing the speaker as a spouse again.
Are you tired of me my darling?
Reiterating the question about being tired of the speaker.
Oh answer only with your eyes
Reiterating the request for an answer through the listener's eyes.
Do you think the blooms departed
Asking if the listener perceives a loss of attractiveness in the speaker.
From the cheeks you thought so fair?
Questioning if the listener thinks the speaker has become cold-hearted.
Do you think I've grown cold hearted
Wondering if the burdens of life have affected the speaker.
Beneath the load of woman's cares?
Highlighting the challenges faced by the speaker as a woman.
And tell me, would you live life over?
Repeating the question about living life over.
Could you make another wife?
Reiterating the query about choosing the speaker as a spouse again.
Are you tired of me my darling?
