Smoke in the Rain

A cigarette burns like a slow goodbye Ash falls The wind doesn't even try Night's heavy coat No stars to see The city's asleep But it won’t dream of me [Chorus] Smoke in the rain Verse 1 It circles and fades Promises broken Debts never paid Smoke in the rain It whispers my name The harder I run The closer it stays Verse 2 Streetlights blink Like a thief's tired eye Shadows crawl low Where the secrets lie Her voice lingers A melody raw A song of regret No applause No encore Prechorus She sang of love She sang of pain Every word soaked in the pouring rain Chorus Smoke in the rain It circles and fades Promises broken Debts never paid Smoke in the rain It whispers my name The harder I run The closer it stays Bridge Accordion sighs like a lover’s breath Guitar strings snap A chord of death Her echo haunts these midnight streets A duet of silence where shadows meet
