Smoke Rings In The Dark - Gary Allan

Well I won’t make you tell me

What I’ve come to understand

You’re a certain kind of woman and

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 smoke ring in the dark

The loneliness within me

Takes a heavy toll

Because 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 know I must be going

Because loves 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

Wind blows where it will

Everything on earth goes somewhere

But I swear we’re standin' still

So I’m not going to 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 know I must be going

Because loves 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
