The old man down the street
must be home again
It hasn't smelled this good
since I don't remember when
The old man down the street
has got that look in his eye
His smoke fills the sky
but it's the good kind
(CH)
Smoke fills the sky
And I know what it means to be alive
Smoke fills the sky
And I remember what it means to be alive
His truck is full of tools
And his mind is filled with canvas unpainted
His shelves are filled with books
and dreams of a tomorrow untainted
He's fired up his barbecue
Doesn't really know what else to do
When the world gets to be too much
See him getting back in touch
with a fundamental truth
Smoke fills the sky
And I know what it means to be alive
He's building fences, tearing down walls
Calling to the clouds before the next tree falls
