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've tried to find a spark
Of the flame that burned but somehow turned to
Smoke rings in the dark.
The lonliness 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.
I know i must be going
'Cause the love's already gone
And all I'm takin' 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.
I know i must be going
'Cause love's already gone
And all I'm takin with me are the pieces of my heart
And all I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark.
