Smoke In the Eye

Smoke in they Eye

A long time ago, we made a promise
One would wait for the other to age
Since one the other would miss
At this time it's stunting like a cage

To dance and trot in the smoke
To pound to the music and beat
When that time came you choked
Jumping in the front seat

Upon request you joined
In the dance and smoke in your eye
A promise simply coined
Why was that promise just a lie

Fog and sin all around
Left to sit and wait
Offers to dance simply unbound
Time ticking, it's far to late

A suitor with a smile offers his hand
Pity makes you take it and whirl away
I cannot follow I've been banned
There is nothing you may say

Hands on hips
Tight and demanding
A smile on the lips
Five minutes withstanding

It does not matter
Smoke in the eyes
Heart in a fair tatter
After five minutes nothing but goodbyes

Eyes on screen
Phone in hand
Frown as I lean
Wonder what will land

Smoke In the Eye
