why do birds
birds sing so sadly?
from the day he’s gone
although nothing anymore to be afraid of or to lose

I was so in love,
so in love that I could forget to sleep
maybe I was too blind
but it’s been an old old story

you were always there
in the smokey room
you were always pretty quiet too
darling, had a tender smile

If you couldn’t find the reason to be with me,
I wish I was
(sweet cigarette)
sweet cigarette on your side

you were always there
in the smokey room
also the day you murmured good-bye to me
darling, had a tender smile

If you couldn’t find the reason to be with me,
I just wish I was
(sweet cigarette)
sweet cigarette on your side
