Balto - Smokestacks lyrics

Smokestacks breathe fire on the skyline tonight And down by the docks I'm standing on the starboard side Anne, she is crying Anne, she is right "You don't have to run anymore" Concrete and Squalor, mud and tire tracks Drunks in the fog tipping empty bottles back Anne at the bus stop Anne's looking for change Threadbare and cold in the rain Greyhound you starcrossed diesel limousine For five quiet nights she turns her child's eyes on me Anne you're a dreamer But Anne you've got to know Please don't look back when I go Did she make love a jailer Did she lock up the hope inside her chest Call it a burden she'd bear all alone And wait for the world to go cold "Wake up", she smiles we're getting near the coast Anne's making plans, the future offers so much more Eyes on the twilight she'll ask me where I'm bound For years now I'm on my way home Highways go tumble to drown in choppy seas And where I went sailing, Anne could never follow me Down by the lighthouse it's shining down her cheeks Silhouette that sticks in my dreams
