i used to sit by my fireplace
and dream about you. but now that won't do. there's a flaw in my flue
your lovely face in my firplace
was all that i saw
but now it won't draw
my flue has a flaw
from every beautiful ember a memory arose
now i try to remember and smoke gets in my nose
it's not as sweet as the unit-heat
to dream about you
so darling
adieu
there's a flaw in my flue.
