Smoke-Fog-Haze
I remember once I envisioned
As I laid in bed, beside my wife
I for a split-second thought I was sleeping
I awaken and saw that it was death…
Smoked enhanced darkness, within the darkness was a glare
Smoke, Fog, Haze
I had risen… was this my day
For you see I was in this house fire
And the curtains and walls were a BLAZED
In this dwelling placed that I lived in…
With my wife and 3 children.
Within the
Smoke, Fog, Haze
I gotten out my wife, children and dog
Smoke, Fog, Haze
We never did find that, cat
Guess he ran away…hey!!!
away from out of the
SMOKE, FOG, HAZE
