No, 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 the spark
To a flame that burned
But somehow turned
To smoke rings in the dark
The loneliness 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
Blowing smoke rings in the dark
CHORUS:
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
The rain falls where it wants to
The wind blows where it will
Everything on earth goes someplace
But I swear I'm 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
CHORUS
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 the spark
To a flame that burned
But somehow turned
To smoke rings in the dark
The loneliness 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
Blowing smoke rings in the dark
CHORUS:
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
The rain falls where it wants to
The wind blows where it will
Everything on earth goes someplace
But I swear I'm 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
CHORUS
