The sky is red 'n low Like a cauldron do Muddy rain on broken glass Weighing down my shoes I watched the giant fall Into a blackened grave My face is damp with restless grief My boots are thick with rain Any other place Is where I shoulda been But the fire is pushing in Like it knows too much of you and me I'm up now from the floor And step into something new I keep one eye on the door- But I keep reachin' for the blues Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind We can’t breathe easy no more Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind I'll never leave you here We can't outrun the coming storm Hot rain is soaking through By the time it's safe to walk We've missed the road to choose My feet are getting heavy The smoke is thunder loud The river looks about half-dry And the mountain's burning down Any other place Is where I shoulda been But the fire is pushing in Like it knows too much of you and me I'm up now from the floor And step into something new I keep one eye on the door- And I keep reachin' for the blues Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind We can’t breathe easy no more Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind Ain't never gonna leave you here Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind We can’t breathe easy no no no no more Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind Please don’t leave us here Smoke on the wind Smoke on the wind The rain ain't gettin' through Smoke on the wind The sky turns black But I'm still reachin’ for the blues
