Текст песни
[Verse 1] I came in wet from the river bend Shoes full of mud, shirt full of rain You said my name like a verdict then Left me alone with the windowpane [Verse 2] Your cup still sits by the sink right there One red stain on the chipped white tile I touch that spot, you were everywhere Then you were gone in a single mile [Pre-Chorus] Say you miss me now Don’t make me wait too long I been holding this hurt Like a note held out and long [Chorus] Smoke on the El Smoke on the El I keep your face in my hands Smoke on the El Smoke on the El I’m still your damaged man [Verse 3] The corner store clock says quarter to two I buy two quarters, a pack of gum The clerk just nods like he knows what I do How I chase what I can’t outrun [Pre-Chorus] Say you miss me now Don’t let that door stay shut If love went cold in your chest Mine still burns in the rut [Chorus] Smoke on the El Smoke on the El I keep your face in my hands Smoke on the El Smoke on the El I’m still your damaged man [Bridge] [Blues Guitar Solo] You left a scar in the soft brown dusk I wore it clean, I wore it proud Now every promise tastes like rust And every goodbye comes back too loud [Chorus] Smoke on the El Smoke on the El I keep your face in my hands Smoke on the El Smoke on the El I’m still your damaged man [Outro] Call me back, call me back Before the night turns thin Smoke on the El And I ride that hurt again
