Sanford-Townsend Band – Smoke From A Distant Fire lyrics

You left me here on your way to paradise.
You pulled the rug right out from under my life.
I know where you go, so I knew when you came home last night,
'Cause your eyes had a mist from a smoke from a distant fire.

Lord, I was stung.
Should've 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 crying and setting and getting away.
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 try to dream when your dream runs into the ground.

I'd just like to know, do you love him or just making time.
My feeling is glass when you're fast throwing bittersweet lines.
He'll feel the aftertaste when you come home late some night
With your eyes all a mist from a smoke from a distant fire.

Girl, your eyes have a mist from a smoke from a distant fire.
(Girl, your eyes have a mist from a smoke from a distant fire.)
Girl, your eyes have a mist from a smoke from a distant fire.
(Girl, your eyes have a mist from a smoke from a distant fire.)
Girl, your eyes have a mist from a smoke from a distant fire.
(Mist in your eyes from a distant fire.)
Girl, your eyes have a mist from a smoke from a dis...a distant fire.
