Smoke in rings
Smoke in rings [Verse 1] Something makes the cigarette burn out, Something fills my heart with doubt. Or someone remembers me today, Or curses me — maybe, who can say? Or maybe it's you, sick and yearning, Walking past my window in the night. And a box of matches I'm burning, For three Prima cigarettes alight. [Chorus] Smoke in rings, drifting where you please, Clouds like these, here and there I see. We've got different buses, you and I, Yours takes a different route — goodbye. [Verse 2] Darling, you've become my past, Why do you pry into my soul? See — it breathes with malice vast, And sorrow dries it, takes its toll. You always thought that I was weak, And you yourself were to blame — That with you I was soft and meek, When I wanted to be a man. [Chorus] Smoke in rings, drifting where you please, Clouds like these, here and there I see. We've got different buses, you and I, Yours takes a different route — goodbye. [Verse 3] I left with a stone in my chest, Stronger than from a blow to the bone. I left you forever, no rest, Without you, I found my guitar alone. I roam the world with her at my side, Wherever the fair wind may go. Before her I bow down with pride, Though she never asks me to. [Chorus] Smoke in rings, drifting where you please, Clouds like these, here and there I see. We've got different buses, you and I, Yours takes a different route — goodbye.
