Smoke Rings in the Dark

[Verse 1] 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've 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 Because 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 [Chorus] I- I- I know I must be going Because 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus][x2]
