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 and
|
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
|
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
|
'Cause 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
|
'Cause 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
|
|
