And He

25 9 5
                                    


And he waltzed in and out

Like flames in the night

He never stayed longer

Than a cigarette light

He crumbled away

Like ash into flight

And fluttered away

Like the tail of a kite

He burned out my sense

Of what's wrong and what's right

And corrupted my soul

Til the night that he died
