Smoke of a Distant Fire

[motely36]

You left me here on your way to paradise
You pulled the rug right out from under my life

I know where you`re going to
I knew when you came home last night
`Cause your eyes had a mist
From the smoke of a distant fire

Lord, I was stung
Shoulda seen it come a long time ago
When I realized the reality gave me a role

If things are the same
Then explain why your kiss is so cold
And that mist in your eyes
Feels like rain on the fire in my soul

This lying and crying
Is upsetting and getting you nowhere
It don`t stack up
So slack up and pack up
I just don`t care

Don`t let the screen door hit you
On your way out
Don`t you drown when your dreamboat
Runs onto the ground

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

I`d just like to know
Do you love him
Or just making time
By filling his glass
With your fast flowing bittersweet wine

He`ll taste the aftertaste
When you come home late some night
With your eyes all a mist
From the smoke of a distant fire

Girl, your eyes have a mist
From the smoke of a distant fire
(Girl, your eyes have a mist)
(From the smoke of a distant fire)

Your eyes have a mist
From the smoke of a distant fire
(Your eyes have a mist)
(From the smoke of a distant fire)

Yeah, your eyes have a mist
From the smoke of a distant fire
(Mist in your eyes from a distant fire)
Yeah, your eyes have a mist
From the smoke of a dist, a distant fire
