This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire
Fire
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire (she's coming down on her own, now)
Fire (she's coming down on her own, now)
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire (she's coming down on her own, now)
Fire (she's coming down on her own, now)
Fire (she's coming down on her own, now)
Fire (she's coming down on her own, now)
