Píseň: The Smokey Life

Recent Songs
I've never seen your eyes so wide
I've never seen your appetite quite this occupied
Elsewhere is your feast of love
I know... where long ago we agreed to keep it light
So lets be married one more night


It's light, light enough
To let it go
It's light enough to let it go


Remember when the scenery started fading
I held you til you learned to walk on air
So don't look down the ground is gone,
There's no one waiting anyway
The Smoky Life is practiced
Everywhere


So set your restless heart at ease
Take a lesson from these Autumn leaves
They waste no time waiting for the snow
Don't argue now you'll be late
There is nothing to investigate
It's light enough, light enough


To let it go
Light enough to let it go


Remember when the scenery started fading
I held you til you learned to walk on air
So don't look down the ground is gone,
There's no one waiting anyway
The Smoky Life is practiced everywhere


Come on back if the moment lends
You can look up all my very closest friends


Light, light enough
To let it go
It's light enough to let it go
