SMOKE IN THE RAIN

 Сергей Ростовъ - Шафрана

Музыка и слова - Вячеслав Клименков

A cigarette burns like a slow goodbye
Ash falls
The wind doesn't even try
Night's heavy coat 
No stars to see 
The city asleep
But it won't dream of me

                   Smoke in the rain
                   It circles and fades
                   Promises broken
                   Debts never paid
                   Smoke in the rain
                   It whispers my name
                   The harder I run
                   The closer it stays
    
Streetlights blink
Like a thief's tired eye
Shadows crawl low
Where the secrets lie
Her voice lingers
A melody raw
A song of regret
No applause
No encore

She sang of love
She sang of pain
Every word soaked in the pouring rain

                   Smoke in the rain
                   It circles and fades
                   Promises broken
                   Debts never paid
                   Smoke in the rain
                   It whispers my name
                   The harder I run
                   The closer it stays

Accordion sighs like a lover's breath
Guitar strings snap
A chord of death
Her echo haunts these midnight streets
A duet of silence where shadows meet

                   Smoke in the rain
                   It circles and fades
                   Promises broken
                   Debts never paid
                   Smoke in the rain
                   It whispers my name
                   The harder I run
                   The closer it stays
