Image of smokeI know a lot of people, I’ll be praying for tonight,
Some of them are still with me & some have gone out of sight
But I’m still hearing their voices, their faces come into my room,
They beg for my attention, like sunlight on the moon

When they’re crossing my mind,
Heading for my heart,
I’ll throw you into the fire
The fire of my love
Holy Smoke — Holy Smoke

I run through the thickets
Of melancholy hearts
Make a bonfire of their sorrows,
Watch them go up in smoke,
I blaze my way through the darkness of all minds,
Darkness will not stay where the light shines

When they’re crossing my mind,
Heading for my heart,
I’ll throw you into the fire
The fire of my love
Holy Smoke — Holy Smoke
