Smoke - Audra Mae

Fire on the hill

Blood on the ground

Not what you see

On the good side of town

Not what you’d think

Gone in a blink of an eye

Did he know?

Silent and still

His broken prayer

Falls from his lips

Vanishing in thin air

Falls to his knees

Breathing his sweet lullaby

And he knows

But could he tell?

Stuck like a horse

On a carousel

All of the plans

That he made himself

May as well be smoke

What’s left undone

Pours from his side

Soul fades away

As an ambulance cries

So close to home

There all alone in the dark

And he knows

Last night

Somebody’s baby

Last night

Somebody’s baby died
