Smoke Rings In The Dark
Well I won't make you tell me
What I've come to understand
You're a certain kind of woman
And I'm a different kind of man
I've tried to make you love me
You're tried to find a spark
Of the flame that burned but somehow turned
To smoke ring in the dark
The loneliness within me
Takes a heavy toll
'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey
Through an empty aching soul and
And the night is like a dagger
Long and cold and sharp
As I sit here on the front steps
Blowing smoke rings in the dark
I, I-I, I know I must be going
'Cause love's already gone
And all I'm taking with me, are the pieces of my heart
And all I'll leave, are smoke rings in the dark
Bridge
The rain falls where it wants to
Wind blows where it will
Everything on earth goes somewhere
But I swear we're standin' still
So I'm not going to wake you
I'll go easy on your heart
I'll just touch your face and drift away
Like smoke rings in the dark
I, I-I, I know I must be going
'Cause love's already gone
And all I'm taking with me, are the pieces of my heart
And all I'll leave, is smoke rings in the dark
Fade Out
