Smoke Lyrics - Singles - Peter Mulvey

Sometimes I feel like the man 

I think you think I am 

These days I am mourning the loss 

of a dream that I don't understand 

Time is a lens 

I see you now 

Your hair blown by winds from afar 

Sometimes don't you feel like the woman 

You think I think you are 

It's just smoke 

But it's in flesh in blood we deal 

And you can't go your whole life denying the things you feel 

I held you up like an angel 

Sewn you down on my life 

I tell no one else you could compare 

To the myth who should have been my wife 

And now I'm trying to shake you 

Alone beneath this roof 

But you stay like a mark on my breast 

Though I burn every shred of proof 

It's just smoke 

But it's in flesh in blood now we live 

Maybe those sweet kisses were never really ours to give 

I've been wrestling with the moon and her tides 

The curve of her breast 

Her hair falls like rain 

The laugh the sigh the smile now 

These things aching me like a lost memory gained and 

I have seen what I have seen in this lifetime 

Just dreaming you looked over my shoulder 

I'm older now 

Maybe we can let this shit 

Let it smolder 

I need smoke 

Cause it's in flesh in blood now I stand 

I won't be haunted any longer by the dreams I do not understand
