Smoke Song Songtext
von Laura Veirs

Ancient skywriter I watch you now
Curling from the neighbor′s roof
Up above your mother the orange flame
Who makes comfortable the winter room

I wanna ride your way
In my mind
I wanna ride your way

Pale ghost of the sun set free by flint
Rising from the cigarette
Of the writer in the eves you sup the light
Blue snake turning pirouettes


I wanna ride your way
In my mind
I wanna ride your way

Used to signal danger, a whale drifted ashore
Messages upward streaming
Black, white, and green, dry grasses and leaves
The names in your rings are singing

I wanna ride your way
In my mind
I wanna ride your way
In my mind
I wanna ride your way
I wanna ride your way
