The old man he went missing We assumed he'd had enough Kids, wife, house, and work He left his clothes and he left his car Escaped one cold November Fell off all our radars and maps No postcards no letters No mention of forward address But there was something in the air Though there was no way to know it But there was something in the air Though it took us time to smell it Fall died days got warmer We assumed he was gone for good Kids, wife, house, and work All did fine without his help Really, who needs a dad? What do they do but sleep and eat? Really, who needs a dad? Just one large mouth to feed But there was something in the air Though there was no way to know it But there was something in the air Though it took us time to smell it But there was something in the air As some point all things defrost But there was something in the air A foul odor filled the house Some things you don't touch Some things you don't fix yourself But there was something in the air Though there was no way to know it But there was something in the air Though it took us time to smell it But there was something in the air As some point all things they defrost Thought there was something in the air A foul odor filled the house
