Lets 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
Lets walk away the past through the smokey black nights
Ive seen a million things
Spoke a million words
Now I only want to speak to you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
Theres nothing Id rather do
On the smokey black nights
Still through the haze I can make out constellations
Ill make one of you and me as we sit in the sand
And I saw that sunset gleaming as my eyes went wild
Lets walk away the past through the smokey black nights
Ive played a thousand songs
Sang a thousand words
Now I only want to sing to you
Waited on a wire
Staring at the fire
Theres nothing Id rather do
On the smokey black nights
Ive walked a thousand miles
Smiled a thousand smiles
Now I only smile when Im with you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
Theres nothing Id rather do
On the smokey black nights
So walk with me as the sweet wind dances
Ill write a song for you and me on the smokey black nights
