Smoke Dreams ft. John Rabaey Lyrics

I just keep on buying cigarettes

Just to try to see your silhouette

In the shapes that I blow from my lungs

Like the Indians of old

Round the campfire story told

In the smoke lies the legends of a love

It's blown away, blown away

You were like a smoke dream

I keep on trying to forget

Gone too soon in front of me

So I reason with my cigarette

You've gone so far away

I couldn't make you stay

Oh I try to race these clouds and never win

You were like a smoke dream in the wind

Well, the fires that you started

Left some burn holes in my heart

And the ashes of our past they linger still

Thought these burns would still remain

But the scars, they slowly fade

Like the smoke that's carried off into the hills

It's blown away, blown away

You were like a smoke dream

I keep on trying to forget

Gone too soon in front of me

So I reason with my cigarette

You've gone so far away

I couldn't make you stay

Oh I try to race these clouds and never win

You were like a smoke dream in the wind

Now I've wrote a lot of stories

None of them can compare

To the legends that I see in the air

And I wish I could go back

But the past, it stays the past

Every cigarette I hit could be my last

And the toll that's on my heart

Is the kind that makes souls dark

Pray to God, He doesn't let me take that path

As I sit here in the night

And I think about my life

The smoke dreams and the shadows that they cast

It's blown away, blown away

You were like a smoke dream

I keep on trying to forget

Gone too soon in front of me

So I reason with my cigarette

I know I'll be okay

It's not my dying day

Oh I try to chase these clouds and never win

You were like a smoke dream in the wind
