Due West - When The Smoke Clears lyrics

He bought me a drink Then offered a light He said, "Friend, where's the ring You had on last night?" And he said, "Man to man, I understand That wedding bands get heavy sometimes But don't cross that line" 'Cause when the smoke clears The heat of the moment Has disappeared And you're alone You spend one night And live in that shadow for years Regret's all that's here When the smoke clears He said, "I've been there Sitting right where you are And that's why I'm here Every day at this bar" Her name was Emily, she worshiped me Our son was three, now he's twenty-five He don't know I'm alive When the smoke clears The heat of the moment Has disappeared And you're alone You spend one night And live in that shadow for years Regret's all that's here When the smoke clears You spend one night And live in that shadow for years Regret's all that's here When the smoke clears
