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 tried to make you love me,
You tried to find a spark
Of the flames that burns
And Somehow turned to
Smoke rings in the dark.
The loneliness within me
Takes a heavy toll
Cause it burns as slow as whiskey
Thru 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,
And I know I must be going
Cause loves already gone.
And all I'm taking with me
Are the pieces of my heart.
All I'll leave
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 standing 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
And I know I must be going
Cause loves already gone.
And all I'm taking with me
Are the pieces of my heart.
Don't ever leave
Smoke rings in the dark.
