Skeleton

My little skeleton I put the skeleton from my closet into the wash But I kept the water too hot and it shrank to the size of a watch I tucked him into one of my pockets and now I can't recall Which pants I've left him in but maybe I'll find him next fall Little skeleton I'm so sorry I promise I'll find you someday Little skeleton I'm so sorry It'll all be okay I just wanted to keep you safe Fall comes, I sit on my porch watching the rain It strips the leaves right off of the trees and into the street I let the smoke fill up my lungs and I try to forget the pain Of losing my little skeleton friend I've only got myself to blame But I just want My little skeleton friend My little skeleton friend Little skeleton I'm so sorry I promise I'll find you someday Little skeleton I'm so sorry It'll all be okay I promised to keep you safe
