Smoke and Wind

Folks called it luck when the cat killed the coyote The people all laughed when the wind swept over the sea But no one said a word when it all came crashing down on me Smoke and wind, looking for a way in through the window sill I got caught staring at my shoes, I opened up the door hoping for some good news Sometimes you just can't find yourself any alibi, oh my Sometimes you just can't find yourself in all this smoke and wind The poet just laughed & then he cried when all of his words rang true The people just smiled when the blind man said he could finally see But no one said a word when the flames rolled down on the sea Smoke and wind, looking for a way in through the windowsill I got caught staring at my shoes, I opened up the door I was hoping for some good news Sometimes you just can't find yourself any alibi, oh my Sometimes the river & the phoenix running dry in this smoke & wind The mad man just sighed when the rain was pouring down on his face He said he'd never seen such a dream that was blessed by fate But no one said a word when it was ash falling down in its place Smoke and wind, looking for a way in through the window sill I got caught staring at my shoes, I opened up the door I was hoping for some good news Sometimes you just can't find yourself any alibi, oh my Sometimes you just can't find yourself in all this smoke and wind Sometimes you just can't find yourself in all this smoke and wind
