Friends gathered in a smoky room
all trying to deny their gloom
in a setting that I don't understand
they are living a dream on either hand
while smoky shadows
rise in a hope of a fading light
smoky shadows of night
Sunlight is softly sifting through
clear, reaching for a smile that's you
I see your eyes in such a different light
as were they diamonds of sheer delight
while smoky shadows
try to endure this ray of light
smoky shadows of night
Shadows that tie us down
are fading and drifting away
there's no one to hold us now
sailing for where we can play
we play
You, looking for the purest song
me, happy that I came along
this is a journey that I can understand
as we leave that room and I take your hand
and smoky shadows
fade into blue above velvet green
where the pure white flowers
dream
Shadows that tie us down
have faded and drifted away
there's no one to hold us now
sailing for where we can play
we play
