Well, i won`t make you tell me
What I`ve come to understand
You`re a certain kind of woman
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 rings 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
Blowin` smoke rings in the dark
(Chorus)
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
The rain falls where it wants to
The wind blows where it will
Everything on earth goes somewhere
But I swear we`re standin` still
So I`m not gonna wake you
I`ll go easy on your heart
I`ll just touch your face and drift away
Like smoke rings in the dark
(Repeat Chorus
