lyrics

When the Smoke Clears Karen Morand & Charlie Morand (SOCAN) ©SOCAN 2018
Let’s pass on the whisky,
Pass on the cigarettes
Let’s clear the air of stale beer and raw regrets Open the window, see if the sun still shines We’ll check out our scars,
You show me yours and I’ll show you mine

Where have you been, where are you now after the rambling? You had it all, now it seems so small after unravelling
Well ooo-eee, my dear
Let’s see what’s left after the smoke clears
Walk out that door, leave the drama behind
Head for the hills, take back your peace of mind
Run out of pavement, ride the gravel roads
To take a look around this old world you gotta take it slow
Where have you been, where are you now after the rambling? You had it all, now it seems so small after unravelling
Well ooo-eee, my dear
Let’s see what’s left after the smoke clears
Come over here, let me break your heart one more time
Let’s strike a match, see what we can find
Cut off the callous that stopped the feeling
And carve the part of your busted heart that stopped it’s beating
Where have you been, where are you now after the rambling? You had it all, now it seems so small after unravelling
Well ooo-eee, my dear let’s see what’s left
Yah oooeee, my dear you know we ain’t seen nothing yet Until the smoke clears
Begun August 2017, finished September 2017.
