Lyrics for Smokey

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
