'''Gaeta's Lament''' is a ballad sung by [[Felix Gaeta]] which helps him as he recovers in ''Galactica''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[sickbay]] from losing the leg [[Samuel Anders]] shot on the ''Demetrius'' ([[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]).

:Alone she sleeps in the shirt of man
:With my three wishes clutched in her hand
:The first that she be spared the pain
:That comes from a dark and laughing rain
:When she finds love may it always stay true
:This I beg for the second wish I made too
:But wish no more
:My life you can take
:To have her please just one day wake
:To have her please just one day wake
