Lyrics
Smokey
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.
I'm broken down
You caved my karma in
I'm staying up
Waiting for you like a fool
You made me forget
About all the dreams I kept
I keep your glass here (hand?)
By the bed we slept
I can't erase your smokey eyes
Your smothered face
Gripping on my waist
Leaving a ghost
Upon the Oregon Coast
And on the floors
Of a crashes porch (??)
Who can pretend
That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived
All this magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm
Then drizzles then dies
Your soul is free
But you're the one I need
And you made your deal
But you're still my ideal
And so I wait
And so I choose this fate
And store your shape
In my electric bed
Who can pretend
That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived
All the magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm
Then drizzles then dies
