Black Smoke

We hoped that in the great unknown we'd find peace of mind No bother of which direction to go or to keep in time But take me back to those mid Nineteens, those days aren't out of sight And now we're here I can't promise You no fear but we'll keep this alight Holding on to the things that we sought There was fire in the rain It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke Holding on to the things that we sought There was fire in the rain It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke Did we spend our days living this way to keep the dream alive? I'm counting coins but I'm happy this way by the country side I see you there, chasing a way to feed your appetite And now you're here and you're living in fear inside your paradise Holding on to the things that we sought There was fire in the rain It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke Holding on to the things that we sought There was fire in the rain It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke My home is right here where I'm lying And I'll keep on with visions of Bawaka and land providing My home is right here and I'm flying Over ancient coloured inlets and culture and these things that bind me Holding on to the things that we sought There was fire in the rain It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke Holding on to the things that we sought There was fire in the rain It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke We were black smoke We were black smoke We were black smoke We were black smoke
