Smoked Out Blues Lyrics - Kara Johnstad

Rang the bell 

Just to leave 

And the papers do say 

In some legal term way 

It's o'er 

As you walk out the door 

You look back 

Just a glance 

And you want a reply 

To the window-paned stare 

Don't ask 

It's the last of a long term affair 

And I stand 

Still in shock looking dumb 

Knowing that the answers to questions 

Might never come 

Oh why, after so many years 

Refrain: 

Smoked out Blues 

In the night 

The pain Of lover's past 

The lull Of Billies cries 

And the words 

That never last 

And I dream As I wake 

That you're there in her arms 

Falling prey to her charms 

Your laugh It still hangs in the air
