I've been the one who has been frightened 
And almost borne away 
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday 
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes 
How can I cry about something I can't see 

My friends all say "She had her chance 
Let's go shoot some pool"
You know a fool is just a fool 
And I've tried everything that whiskey cures 
But the pain endures 
Now I'm feeling that pain 
I put my pride in my pocket 
That's how I'll spend my loneliest days 
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes 

Don't know what to do 
Hold the lamp above the rafters 
These smoke-filled rooms will not replace her 

And I've been the one who has been frightened 
And almost borne away 
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday 
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
