about

So many songs are written for breakups, for romance, for lost love. Few discuss what happens after in a positive light. Society remains divided on the notion of remaining friends following the death of a romance. However, if we love another person so deeply, how can we claim to have loved them if we so easily say goodbye? 'Smoke' is an old time ballad about keeping your loved ones in your life, even after they're gone. Penned in 2015 and released for the first time in 2016.

Also available on 'C Side Volume 6: Fading Shadows'

lyrics

Dawn gave me grieving
A blizzard ablaze
Bombshells a'burning
Too little too late
For yonder my lover
Already round the bend

So I begged her
Would you remain my friend

For our smoke seems to linger
On houses and trains
Diamonds are duller
When the fire blows away
And no two shone dearer
Than we two engaged

So I beg you
Remain my friend

And if you never loved me
Would you be my friend
And if you'll never love me
Would you be friend
And if you'd never love me
Would you be my friend
And you never love me
Would you be my friend
