Smoke lyrics

Sometimes I feel like the man

I think you think I am

These days I am mourning the loss

of a dream that I don`t understand



Time is a lens

I see you now

Your hair blown by winds from afar



Sometimes don`t you feel like the woman

You think I think you are



It`s just smoke

But it`s in flesh in blood we deal

And you can`t go your whole life denying the things you feel



I held you up like an angel

Sewn you down on my life

I tell no one else you could compare

To the myth who should have been my wife

And now I`m trying to shake you

Alone beneath this roof

But you stay like a mark on my breast

Though I burn every shred of proof



It`s just smoke

But it`s in flesh in blood now we live

Maybe those sweet kisses were never really ours to give



I`ve been wrestling with the moon and her tides

The curve of her breast

Her hair falls like rain

The laugh the sigh the smile now

These things aching me like a lost memory gained and

I have seen what I have seen in this lifetime

Just dreaming you looked over my shoulder



I`m older now

Maybe we can let this shit

Let it smolder

I need smoke

Cause it`s in flesh in blood now I stand

I won`t be haunted any longer by the dreams I do not understand
