Bobbie Gentry
Smoke
[Verse 1]
Tell me how I love you
Tell me 'til it's all away
Talkin' 'til your tiny troubles vanish
Yes, I love you, we can wait until the gremlins
Float themselves away like smoke

[Verse 2]
Listen, I've been waiting
Listen, I've been all alone
Looking while some singing rhythms fade
And yes, I love you, life will stay until it's done
And fades into the wind like smoke

[Bridge]
Gonna climb like mornin' glory leaves
That wind their ways to summertime
And fall into a pallor rhyme
I guess they know it's all a joke

[Refrain]
Listen, I've been waiting
Listen, I've been all alone

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Gonna climb like mornin' glory leaves
That wind their ways to summertime
And fall into a pallor rhyme
I guess they know it's all a joke

[Verse 3]
Tell me how I love you
Tell me 'til it's all away
Talkin' 'til your tiny troubles vanish
Yes, I love you, we can wait until the gremlin
Floats itself away like smoke
