Well, 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've tried to make you love me You've tried to find a spark Of the flame that burned and somehow turned to To smoke rings in the dark ♪ The loneliness within me Takes a heavy toll 'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey Through an empty achin' soul And the night is like a dagger Long and cold and sharp As I sit here on the front steps Blowin' smoke rings in the dark I know I must be going 'Cause love's already gone And all I'm taking 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 somewhere But I swear we're 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 I know I must be going 'Cause love's already gone And all I'm taking with me Are the pieces of my heart And all I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
