Smoke Gets in Your Eyes For

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes For

 

There's a fire in my brain.

That smoulders .......all the time.

But Its not like, that other fire....

which in my belly burned.

That kept me warm on cold nights.

To feed a hunger, that consumed.

My thirst........ for life.

It's a fire, in my brain.

That smoulders all the time.

Brought on by a knife.....

That stabbed me in the heart!

Snuffed the flame,and now

 

It smoulders .
