Stepanian - Smoke
Stepanian Band Musick from Boston USA!<br /><br />Smoke<br />Words and Music by Eric Stepanian<br />Additional words by Dan Morris<br /><br />I was standing on a corner down on Broadway<br />From a phone booth I was hoping she would call me<br />You left a letter lying face down in my hallway<br />"California, Love Ally"<br /><br />Autumn she leaves as I crumble from the weather<br />My heart in pieces saying please return to sender<br />Through it all I resign myself to wonder<br />Why the little things I remember<br /><br />All these moments as they pass<br />I cannot find a reason to laugh<br />There's just so much I can't forget<br />Catching smoke in a butterfly net<br /><br />Inside a box I place my love to see another day<br />Tangled in tomorrow I make my great escape<br />You're burning like the fullest moon as I try to turn away<br />I'm taken by the shutter that has left me in this frame<br /><br />All these moments we've been through<br />The laughter's been our parachute<br />There's so much I won't regret<br />Catching smoke in a butterfly net<br /><br />Seems like yesterday I was so alone<br />Stepped outside and the weather seemed so cold<br />I tried to reason with her slowly<br />She talked with her hands<br />And her eyes didn't know me<br /><br />Looking backwards though I'm moving slow<br />Just not sure about the way that you go<br />Time after time I'd believe what you say<br />But that way then now I'm on my way
