| Karine Polwart – Firethief Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| In my opinion, this song is about heroin and its destructive power over her 'laddie'. Heroin is the Firethief. It steals your heart, the light from your eyes and the words from your tongue. Then leaves you with 'nothing but dool and sorrow'. 'Dool' is a Scottish word that means a deep, sorrowful despair. | |
