Текст песни: Days Like Smoke + перевод

He wakes to footsteps on the street.

Cars drive by, and though he tries,

He can’t sleep longer.

The shade has left him in the heat.

And the sidewalk is not getting any softer.

He was dreaming of a time

When his world was open wide,

Running and laughing with his brother.

But that was so long ago,

He wonders if he saw him now,

Would they recognize eachother?

Days like smoke, they drift and float away…

He locks his troubled past away.

He hides his pride behind a sign at the intersection.

So many faces everyday,

But it’s been a while since he’s seen a smile in his direction.

He reads their lives behind the glass

Like faded postcards from the past.

They come and pass just like his father.

He takes his earnings for the day,

Buys something cold to numb the pain,

And finds a place he won’t be bothered.

Days like smoke, they drift and float away…

I saw him just the other day.

I’d ask him why, but don’t have the time.

That sting of guilt hits me inside.

It could be me holding that sign…

I give him a buck, I say «good luck».

Then like smoke, I drift and float away…
