[00:18.350]Well I won't make you tell me
[00:22.051]What I've come to understand
[00:26.102]You're a certain kind of woman
[00:30.102]I'm a different kind of man
[00:34.802]I've tried to make you love me
[00:38.952]You've tried to find a spark
[00:42.860]Of the flame that burned but
[00:45.164]Somehow turned to smoke rings in the dark
[00:59.930]The loneliness within me
[01:04.536]Takes a heavy toll
[01:07.988]'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey through
[01:12.624]an empty aching soul
[01:16.328]And the night is like a dagger
[01:20.986]Long and cold and sharp
[01:24.637]As I sit here on the front steps
[01:28.541]Blowing smoke rings in the dark
[01:35.551]I I I know I must be going
[01:43.318]'Cause loves already gone
[01:52.278]And all I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart
[02:00.538]And all I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
[02:05.286]
[02:21.301]The rain falls where it wants to
[02:25.602]The wind blows where it will
[02:29.556]Everything on earth goes somewhere
[02:33.436]But I swear we're standin' still
[02:37.888]So I'm not going to wake you
[02:41.940]I'll go easy on your heart
[02:45.853]I'll just touch your face and drift away
[02:50.403]Like smoke rings in the dark
[02:57.061]I I I know I must be going
[03:04.912]'Cause loves already gone
[03:13.668]And all I'm taking with me are
[03:17.352]the pieces of my heart and
[03:22.070]All I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
