Your skin folds were paper thin
We couldn't help but take you in
Your undercoat was paper white
And i'm reminded every night
We speculate why you were so afraid of smoke
Were you abused, or did a fire take your home
It's so much easier to think one of those two
Than it would be to know that there's
Somebody else who misses you
And in the face of your disease
Your loving charm would never cease
Eternal source of comfort right
And you remind me every night
But by the end we saw you tire
Your step uneven, frame of wire
What evil power did conspire
To take you from me, start this fire
We speculate why you were so afraid of smoke
Were you abused, or did a fire take your home
It's so much easier to think one of those two
Than it would be to know that there's
Somebody else who misses you
Ah, ah
We speculate why you were so afraid of smoke
Were you abused, or did a fire take your home
It's so much easier to think one of those two
Than it would be to know that there's
Somebody else who misses you
