Cover art for Up In Smoke lyrics by Colin Hay

This is just a beautiful song that just screams with feeling and warmth. I think it's about a soldier that's about to come home and different feelings that come with it like when he's here "I've given back my gun" and the dying part with "I'll never meet my son" but overall just a very, very beautiful and well written song. just incredible!

Silently as my tears flow, this fear keeps on burning As I sleep and the winds blow, to you I'm returning

I'm coming home tomorrow, I'll never meet my son I am a local hero, but in time, we all go up in smoke

Silently as my tears flow, my soul keeps on yearning As I sleep and the winds blow, this world keeps on turning
