The Smokey Life (Tour of 1979)

I've never seen your eyes so wide

I've never seen your appetite quite this occupied

Elsewhere is your feast of love, I know

Long ago we agreed to keep it light

So let's be married one more night

It's light enough, light enough to let it go

It's light enough to let it go

Remember when the scenery started fading

I held you 'til you learned to walk on air

So don't look down

The ground is gone, there's no one waving anyway

The smokey life is practiced everywhere

So set your restless heart at ease

Take a lesson from these autumn leaves

They waste no time waiting for the snow

Don't argue now or you'll be late

There's nothing to investigate

It's light enough, light enough to let it go

Light enough to let it go

Remember when the scenery started fading

I held you 'til you learned to walk on air

So don't look down

The ground is gone, there's no one waving anyway

The smokey life is practiced everywhere

Come on back if the moment lends

You can look up all my very closest friends

It's light enough, light enough to let it go

Light enough to let it go
