I wanna 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 a flame that burned somehow turned to the smoke rings in the dark The loneliness within me takes a heavy toll Cause it burns as slow as whiskey through an empty aching soul And the night is like a dagger long and cold and sharp As I sit here on the front steps blowing smoke rings in the dark I-I-I I know I must be going cause love-ove-ove's already gone-one 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 Every-thing on earth goes somewhere but I swear I'm standing 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-I-I I know I must be going cause love-ove-ove's already gone-one All I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart And all I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
