Drunken Cigarettes

Well I watched a burning candle, the flames danced and joked
As the smoke exhaled through my lunges disappeared like a ghost
I found myself in a ponder with a mindset on quitting
Finding words to your poems words that your heart had written
I tried to blend in with my curfew and give away what was yours
And just like that burning candle, you burnt me to my core
Well baby would you plan on keeping me around for a while
Or disappear like I did last time between the lashes of your eyes

Well summers coming soon
Just like my burning heart for you
And we could watch the flowers bloom
And we could let our hearts resume

A second chance is what you had remembered for a drunken drifting man
Who was bound on the six string but didn't have no plans
Other than burning like that candle with your flame next to mine
Between the lights lit in Denver
Counting everything but time

And you know that my smile was lit up by no regrets between your sober words of love
And my drunken cigarettes
You keep my feet out from the well and from the bottom of my mind
Daddy told me that I was dumb and I should ask you to be my wife

Well summers coming soon
Just like my burning heart for you
And we could watch the flowers bloom
And we could let our hearts resume

So I'll keep on a wishing and thanking god that your mine between the light of our candle
And those bright ole Denver lights and I don't know where we're bound but if your with me I'll be fine
And when the bury me in the cold ground I'll see your name next to mine
