Smoke

The smoke from a cigarette
Is all that I need
To get transported back in time
To the moment you were mine

The fumes slowly drift away
Through the room in a cloud of grey
You consume me like a flame
But I'll never be the same

When you caress me between your fingers
The excitement lingers -- I can't wait no more
And when you slide me between your soft lips
How I longed for this bittersweet kiss

I'm glowing
And you start to cry
When the smoke gets in your eye
You say it makes you feel alive
But those tears you cannot hide

You swallow
What you know will kill you
I guess that's 'a part of the thrill' no?
I go to your head
When you breathe me in
I make you numb
On your precious skin

You light me up and you watch me burning
Darling how I'm yearning
For a lover's touch
When you inhale I can feel you tremble
Even though it's such a gamble
Take another drag

The smoke from a cigarette
Is all that I need
To get transported back in time
To the moment you were mine
