  • Cigarettes
    I'm all alone with my smoke and ashes
    Cigarettes
    I'm all alone with my smoke and ashes
    Take me night-flying
    Maybe Mars has good news
    Who?...who am I?
    I am the blues

    soothe me
    Horn's warm red love-makin'
    Funky music
    Move me
    Night wind, red tail lights, and
    Funky music

    'cause I'm restless
    In my love for sale shoes
    Who?...who am I?
    I am the blues
    In a world of war
    I can't find my laughter
    I can't see the night sun
    And I can't see my freedom
    I guess I can't see too much no more
    Baby, till I lose my blues
    Fly through the sky like superfly
    Over the stars we climb
    Over this sweet red wine
    I tell myself
    Right on
    Right on
    Right on
    Right on
    Blues
    Flying so high
    A plane in the sky
    Listen to the music of the night wind Writer/s: LAURA NYRO
