• Rang the bell, just to leave
    And the papers do say
    In some legal term way
    It´s o´er as you walk out the door

    You look back, just a glance
    And you want a reply
    To the window-paned stare
    Don´t ask,
    it´s the last of a long term affair

    And I stand still in shock, looking dumb
    Knowing that the answers to questions
    Might never come
    Oh why, after so many years

    Smoked out Blues in the night
    The pain of lovers past
    The lull of Billie´s cries
    And the words that never last

    And I dream, as I wake
    That you´re there in her arms
    Falling prey to her charms
    Your laugh it still hangs in the air

    I get up, for my sake
    `Cause the thoughts in my head
    Have me wishin’ I was dead
    Confused, feeling ever so used

    And I pass thru each day, all alone
    Never knowing really what happened
    Or what went wrong
    Oh why, after so many years

    Smoked out Blues in the night
    The pain of lovers past
    The lull of Billie´s cries
    And the words that never last
