------------------------------------------
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.
