Smoke & Steam - Fiver

Keep in mind you left me lonely when I had nothing to give

When the only thing that held me set to strain me like a sieve

When your scent still hung about my house

Your hair still creased my hands

You fancy doing anything but what’s needed

Smoke and steam might look the same

Even silken flowers fade

No love for a love gone untended

You can lie there with some fire bird, on your mattress worn and tired

Stuffed with all the pages torn from your books of men admired

Hell, I dreamed you cut the covers, set the pages fly along

For to mingle in the gutter and go down where they belong

Smoke and steam might look the same

Even silken flowers fade

No love for a love gone untended

Keep in mind now what you offer with your pearls and lost boy airs

And the sadness of your smile and your skin now worse for wear

The hand that moves to touch mine now can not undo the done

You fancy doing anything but what’s needed

Smoke and steam might look the same

Even silken flowers fade

No love for a love gone untended
