Smoke was crowding in the blue sky
I was there and saw you lie
To the one and then you cried
And tried to stay out there
And the face was full of yearning
Months to spend you yearly earnings
On the love you knew
Already the smoke was falling
Sheets like this and birds were calling
From the trees outside
Oh I found you on that day
Where the sheets were and where you lay
There across from me, across the way
But through the haze I saw you smiling
There where the bricks were piling
Found the blue sky once more frowning
From above moon was drowning
In the fog and lights were flashing
Coming out like ink around them
Found the way it left them craching there
So like the cars and like the passing traffic
Slowling going manically away
Waiting where they see the way is clear
Oh your curtains, oh your sheets
Are rolled upon and rolled beneath the bed
Where we once lay
And I found it there
That there were stains upon
Upon the linen where we lay
Oh my darling, oh my lovely
Oh the time has spared nothing
Of the way the light is shimmering above the clouds
