Today I'm in one of those "down on me" days that I get sometimes. I don't have them real often so I guess I owe it to myself to feel melancholy about how I really feel about things at times. I've listened over and over to this song by Gary Allen. The lyrics speak perfectly about my mood and wants and needs. The midi is the not as beautiful as the actual, but it's all I could find to accompany.

Smoke Rings in the Dark
---Gary Allen

Well I won't make you tell me
What I've come to understand
You're a certain kind of woman and
I'm a different kind of man
I've tried to make you love me
You're tried to find a spark
of the flame that burned and Somehow turned
to smoke ring in the dark

The loneliness within me
Takes a heavy toll
'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey
through an empty aching soul
and The night is like a dagger
Long and cold and sharp
As I sit here on the front steps
Blowing smoke rings in the dark

I- I- I know I must be going
'Cause loves already gone
and All I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart
and All I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark

The rain falls where it wants to
Wind blows where it will
Everything on earth goes somewhere
But I swear we're standin' still
So I'm not going to wake you
I'll go easy on your heart
I'll just touch your face and drift away
Like smoke rings in the dark

I- I- I know I must be going
'Cause loves already gone and
All I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart and
All I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
