The Smoke That Took You Away
The smoke coming out of you
Caused much more than the average flu
Every single puff
Has taken me out
I fly as you used to
Just to see if the ocean was still blue
I go to your stone everyday
All to pray for the better times
My tears wept just because I think of you
When we used to dance
Underneath the clouds
Where the smoke went up to
I see your face go up to the heavens
Waving down to me
I climb the mountains
Reaching up
I would wait forever
But I cant
The more I long the shorter the song
I cant take you being gone
For that I must go where
I belong
