Cigarettes In The Winter Sun

Woke up hurried, and I really don’t know what for
Life ain’t too bad, probably better than it coul
And it’s been one night, just one long night
But I feel like I’ve been sleeping for a million years

Am I old babe? I’m so tired, babe…
As I’m looking at this old town, this old place that got me caught
I smoked those cigarettes out there in the winter sun
As a found myself a-thinking, againg thinking way too much

But it’s alright, I swear I’m alright
Just a little bit of weakness from this crazy heart of mine
Aw yeah..

Watch the frost melt on the roofs
And I still wonder why It hurts me, maybe just ‘cause that’s my kind
And I’ve been running from that black door
But sometimes I see it ‘round here, still awaits at my back door

(chorus)
But it’s alright, I swear I’m alright
Just a little bit of weakness from this crazy heart of mine
But it’s alright, I swear I’m alright
Just a little spark of darkness, shined in this crazy heart of mine

And I promise not to scare you
Yeah, I promise not to say the same things over and over
For I don’t want to make you mad
But there are things that worry me, babe
Things I don’t even understand
So forgive me if I feel lonesome, just ‘til I see you again

(chorus)
But it’s alright, I swear I’m alright
Just a little bit of weakness from this crazy heart of mine
But it’s alright, I swear I’m alright
Just a little spark of darkness, shined in this crazy heart of mine
