Smoke From A Distant Fire

Sanford - Townsend Band

You left me here on your way to paradise


And you pulled the rug right out from under my life


I know where you goin' 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 roll


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 cryin's, upsettin' and getting no where


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 dream boat runs onto the ground





(BREAK)





I'd just like to know do you love him or just making time


by filling his glass with your fast flowing bitter-sweet lies.


You'll face the after taste 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.


(Well your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire)


Your eyes have the mist from the smoke of a distant fire.


(Well your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire)


Oh girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire.


(Mist in your eyes from a distant fire)


Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant..........


A distant Fire
