Smoke Screen

© 2011 Mark Cote

The owl is smiling
at midnight blue
running in circles
is what we do
is it just a smoke screen

Capricorn rising
as the sun dies down
I sit and I wonder
'bout me and you
is it just a smoke screen

(chorus) smoke screen waters lead to
                  smoke screen skies
                  don't ask me I won't tell you why
                  smoke screen waters lead to
                  smoke screen skies
                  you can't see with
                  smoke in your eyes
                 smoke screen waters lead to
                  smoke screen skies

a piece of the puzzle
that needs to fit
but the puzzle keeps moving
I must admit
is it just a smoke screen

where are we going
where have we been
beyond our troubles
 beyond our sins
 is it just a smoke screen

(chorus)

The owl is smiling
at midnight blue
