Sadness mixed with bitternessCreeped across Dick Tracy’s blissNever could he have a restWhen out the door departed TessSo little time alone they sharedThe price they paid when trouble nearedAt times he wished a different wayHe chose to get a weekly payHe knew they both did freely liveLives that forced them much to giveThey’ll be together forever some dayBut for now tell the chief he’s on the way.
