Where The Smoke Blows     Credits: Karine Polwart     Appears On: Scribbled In Chalk     Language: English

Lyrics:

Sometimes you just get caught where the smoke blows
And you just have to breathe it in until it all goes
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?

Sometimes a thing looks shit on the inside
And from farther away it's the ebb and the flow of the tide
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?

A small mind with a big notion
Brought down to earth by the size of the ocean wide

Sometimes you just can't see what's bigger
You're caught in the frame, just a tiny figure
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?

Sometimes the thing you think you have your eyes on
Just fades out of view on the far horizon
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?

A small mind with a big lie
Brought down to earth by the size of the sky

All the men with enormous heads and tiny hearts
In the end they're only playing incidental parts
Don't you know it'll all be gone when you're gone?

A small mind with a big notion
Brought down to earth by the ocean
And a small mind with a big lie
Brought down to earth by the size of the sky

Sometimes you just get caught where the smoke blows...
