Lyrics
Where The Smoke Blows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes you just get caught where the smoke blows
And you just have to breathe it in until it all goes
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?
Sometimes a thing looks shit on the inside
And from farther away it's the ebb and the flow of the tide
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?
A small mind with a big notion
Brought down to earth by the size of the ocean wide
Sometimes you just can't see what's bigger
You're caught in the frame, just a tiny figure
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?
Sometimes the thing you think you have your eyes on
Just fades out of view on the far horizon
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?
A small mind with a big lie
Brought down to earth by the size of the sky
All the men with enormous heads and tiny hearts
In the end they're only playing incidental parts
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?
A small mind with a big notion
Brought down to earth by the ocean
And a small mind with a big lie
Brought down to earth by the size of the sky
Sometimes you just get caught where the smoke blows...
