Smoke

English translation

I wrote my name on the fog of the train window.

It disappeared before I learned how to let go.

I dream of nights when the quiet won't hurt so.

I write my name where no one but myself goes.

Oh, black smoke, in crowded rooms, I reach for a face, but

I still see you out in the open.

And the words I spoke must be your wings. And

I know that you know.

I laced a dream of the thoughts that were real. I traced my palm, but it didn't show my grief.

Now every night, everyone is asleep.

I feel the dark, but I still see the ocean.

Oh, black smoke, in crowded rooms, I reach for a face, but I still see you out in the open.

And the words I spoke must be your wings.

And I know that you know.

If I close my eyes, will it disappear?

Is this all a dream I'm living in? In time.

If I close my eyes, if I close my eyes, I can breathe in now.

I can breathe in now. I need it.

I need it. Oh, black smoke, in crowded rooms,

I reach for a face, but I still see you out in the open.

And the words I spoke must be your wings.

And

I know that you know.

If I close my eyes, will it disappear?

Is this all a dream

I'm living in? In time
