Sanford-Townsend song

[Charles Danfield]

I've been looking all over for lyrics to a song
by Sanford Townsend Band from 197, "Smoke
from a Distant Fire". Any suggestions?

Okay, I've got it playing right now. Here is what I can make out.

_Smoke From a Distant Fire_

You left me here on your way to paradise
You pulled the rug right out from under my life
I know where you go to, I knew when you came home last night
'Cause your eyes had a mist from the smoke of a distant fire

Lord, I was dumb, shoulda seen it comin' long time ago
When I realized, the reality gave me a roll
If things are the same then explain why your kiss is so cold
And that mist in your eyes feels like rain on the fire in my soul

<some lines I can't figure out but it sounds like>
It's lying, and trying, and <?>, and gettin' nowhere
<?> and <?> and packup, I just don't care
Don't let the screen door hit you on your way out
Don't you drown when your dreamboat runs onto the ground

I'd just like to know, do you love him or just making time
By fillin' his glass with your fast-flowin' bittersweet lies
You'll face the aftertaste when you come home late some night
With your eyes all amist from the smoke of a distant fire

Girl, your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire <repeated>

Hope this helps some. If I figure out any of the other parts, I'll post a
follow-up.
