CIGARETTE
written by John Gies
performed by The Gypsy Sons
Cold hands reached within me,
And dipped into my soul…
Beggin’ me to go.
Cold waves rushed within me.
I lifted to the shore…
Alone I will endure.
It seems like years though just a little while
When love was painted on your smile.
In forgotten lives… might of took the time,
But for now we’ll have it out.
Swallow your pride,
I know what’s on your mind,
You’ve got to let it go.
Breathe in insight,
‘Cause love will never die,
Though it will bury you alone.
I think that love is like a cigarette.
It burns too fast and kills you slow.
If I had a light… I’d burn up half my life
For just another hit of you.
Though pain is all… that is real.
I’ll never forget, and never regret
Our seven years in dreamtime
