| 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’ve tried to find a spark of the flame that burned and
|
| Somehow turned to smoke ring in the dark
|
| The loneliness within me
|
| Takes a heavy toll
|
| Because it burns as slow as whiskey
|
| Through an empty aching soul 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 know I must be going
|
| Because loves 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
|
| 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 know I must be going
|
| Because loves 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 |
