Lyrics Holding On To Smoke - Michel Polnareff

Holding On To Smoke

All your letters in the fire
One by one they go
Disappearing into flames
They make an eerie glow…
Holding on to smoke
You’re just smoke in the air
In the air
Holding on to smoke
You can never be held
Yet you’re everywhere
Fire can’t console me with
The lessons I have learned
Fire can’t consume your laugh
And memory can’t be burned
Holding on to smoke
You’re just smoke in the air
In the air
Holding on to smoke
You can never be held
Yet you’re everywhere
Like a fog across the land
Like the nighttime’s sound
Here you are, embracing me
And yet you can’t be found
Holding on to smoke
You’re just smoke in the air
In the air
Holding on to smoke
You can never be held
Yet you’re everywhere
Holding on to smoke
You’re just smoke in the air
In the air
Holding on to smoke
You can never be held
Yet you’re everywhere
