Blue Smoke Turned Black
(by Robyn Rees athamirra music ©2016)
Little house before the trees
homely smoke from the chimney
cosy picture in the neighbourhood
cold danger within its walls
blue smoke turned black
tears drowned the embers
red mist covered the flames
souls lost to weakness
your hand heavy with malice
my fear holding onto shame
your eyes empty of soul
my fire too low before the cold
blue smoke turned black
tears drowned the embers
red mist covered the flames
souls lost to weakness
deep deep within an ember
untouched by your misery
fanned alive bright again
in the laughter of my victory
blue smoke turned black
tears drowned the embers
red mist covered the flames
souls lost to weakness
your tantrums kept you trapped
in a grey of your own making
all I had to do was wait
to walk in sunshine of mercy
blue smoke turned black
tears drowned the embers
red mist covered the flames
souls lost to weakness
blue smoke turned black.
