Smokey Lyrics
I'm broken down
You caved my karma in
I'm staying up
Waiting for you like a fool
You made me forget
About all the dreams I kept
I keep your glass here (hand?)
By the bed we slept
I can't erase your smokey eyes
Your smothered face
Gripping on my waist
Leaving a ghost
Upon the Oregon Coast
And on the floors
Of a crashes porch (??)
Who can pretend
That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived
All this magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm
Then drizzles then dies
Your soul is free
But you're the one I need
And you made your deal
But you're still my ideal
And so I wait
And so I choose this fate
And store your shape
In my electric bed
Who can pretend
That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived
All the magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm
Then drizzles then dies
You caved my karma in
I'm staying up
Waiting for you like a fool
About all the dreams I kept
I keep your glass here (hand?)
By the bed we slept
Your smothered face
Gripping on my waist
Leaving a ghost
Upon the Oregon Coast
Of a crashes porch (??)
That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived
All this magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm
Then drizzles then dies
But you're the one I need
And you made your deal
But you're still my ideal
And so I choose this fate
And store your shape
In my electric bed
That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived
All the magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm
Then drizzles then dies

I die every time I listen to this song.
I know exactly what you mean. It eats me up and spits me out, every single time.

An absolutely gut- wrenching but amazing song by Koz. I've heard that it was written in the memory of his deceased girlfriend Kathy. It's certainly an inspired song. Love the electric guitar feedback increasing with intensity as the song builds. Stunning.
God this song is amazing.
This is my favorite RHP song.. as suggested by my username. Means so many different things to me, and relationships I've been in.
To me, this is the antithesis of "appreciating what you had". How can you look back on something and only focus on the good times when it had such a crushing end. Such a good song.
