Lyrics

bottled smoke

a bright romantic moon
and stars that promised me
I?d find true love soon
and believe them finally
but that moon?s a cold rock
and I gave up all hope
it was a real shock
to see it through a telescope

love?s a shadow, love?s a whisper
love?s some foghorn late at night
and when I leaned and kissed her
love was there, I held on tight
yes its true
love is here to stay
and if it goes away
I?ll go there too

the city lights were winking
as we strolled arm in arm
it got me to thinking
you?re so nice and full of charm
but those lights are just glass bulbs
rigged up with some filament
plugged in for as long
as someone pays the rent

love?s a shadow, love?s a whisper
love?s like bottled smoke
and when she?s gone I miss her
I re-read the things she wrote
yes its true
love is here to stay
and if it goes away
I?ll go there too






the music played so softly
our hearts were beating quick
the melody was lovely
I hope its not a trick
?cause music?s just some waves
vibrating in the air
whole notes and quavers
bouncing in your ear

love?s a shadow, love?s a whisper
I know it cant be touched
and when I leaned and kissed her
I could feel its worth so much
yes its true
love is here to stay
and if it goes away
I?ll go there too

I?ll go there too
