Сергей Ростовъ, Шафрана - Smoke in the Rain

A cigarette burns like a slow goodbye
Ash falls, the wind doesn't even try
Night's heavy coat, no stars to see
The city's asleep but it won’t dream of me
Smoke in the rain
It circles and fades
Promises broken
Debts never paid
Smoke in the rain
It whispers my name
The harder I run
The closer it stays
Streetlights blink like a thief's tired eye
Shadows crawl low where the secrets lie
Her voice lingers a melody raw
A song of regret, no applause, no encore
She sang of love
She sang of pain
Every word soaked
In the pouring rain
Smoke in the rain
It circles and fades
Promises broken
Debts never paid
Smoke in the rain
It whispers my name
The harder I run
The closer it stays
Accordion sighs like a lover’s breath
Guitar strings snap a chord of death
Her echo haunts these midnight streets
A duet of silence where shadows meet
Smoke in the rain
It circles and fades
Promises broken
Debts never paid
Smoke in the rain
It whispers my name
The harder I run
The closer it stays
