about

woodsmoke © 2011 Richard Malcolm


woodsmoke in the morning / how it graces the dawn
one minute so sweet / next minute gone
there’s a fire in the chimney / fire in the hole
like the fire in the whiskey / like what warms us down below

down below the surface / things look different down here
the light's not so bright / some illusions disappear
it was all about the essence / no one was on a quest
it wasn’t ’bout the shiny gold you wore on your chest

but that’s how I remember you / I can barely bear to think
of how you got to shining / and it wasn't just the drink
ain't no shame in where we went, love / but it still makes me wince
how you took off in the morning / I ain’t been the same since

next thing I know / you was headed for the coast
all you left was your spirit / and a trace of woodsmoke

all you left was your essence / and a trace of woodsmoke
