Smokey black nights

Let's watch the tide

chase the waves onto the sand

I wonder if a broken heart

Can feel the warmth of my hand

And I wonder what a piece of driftwood

Has seen all through his lifetime

Let's walk away the past

through the smokey black nights

I've seen a million things

Spoke a million words

Now I only want to speak to you

Waiting for the words

Counting every bird

There's nothing I'd rather do

On the smokey black nights

Still through the haze

I can make out constellations

I'll make one for you and me

As we sit in the sand

And I saw that sunset gleamin

As my eyes went wild

Let's walk away the past

through the smokey black nights

I've played a thousand songs

Sang a thousand words

Now I only want to sing to you

Waited on a wire

Staring at the fire

There's nothing I'd rather do

On the smokey black nights

I've walked a thousand miles

Smiled a thousand smiles

Now I only smile when I'm with you

Waiting for the words

Counting every bird

There's nothing I'd rather do

On the smokey black nights

So walk with me

As the sweet wind dances

I'll write a song for you and me

On the smokey black nights
