I smell the woodsmoke in the air
up with the smoke there goes my cares
Today I slipped and I fell down
Upon my knees
Upon the ground
It's beautiful to fall this way
To gaze up at the clouds at play
And when I get back on my feet
I'll follow where the wind takes me
Now the smoke curls up into the sky
And mingles with the birds up high
It smells of winters dark and long
And fires that blaze to fuel this song
So take me smoke wherever you go
It's from a true fire that you grow
And from this place I've fallen to
My fire now also burns so true.
