SMOKE

1 Mama always told me
Lead a reasonable life
Papa said, "Listen to your Mama,
The woman just has to be right
So, I'm sailing down this river
That's how life appears to me
I've been searching for some answers
Trying to find my New Orleans
Suddenly, I'm hit from behind
I find myself rounding the corner blind

CH Oh! We've got to take it slowly
We both know it could be only smoke
Now, I've got this strange sensation
Leaving me with the realization
That I, I, I have lost control

2 I can't believe I'm breathing
I don't trust the way that I feel
And something in me tells me
The face that I see isn't real
The river's getting wider
I'm losing sight of the land
The water's getting darker
I've got to see the best I can
Then lightning out over the plains
The flash fades out and only love remains
