Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while
Thought of your face and that brought me a smile
Wanted another one, fell back asleep instead
Woke and found you sitting there on the bed
Cigarette, cigarette, burning up time
Cigarette, cigarette, watch the smoke climb
Cigarette, cigarette, wasting away
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour till you're leaving this town.
Went to the corner store, bought us another pack
Held my arm around you as we headed back
I tried to change your mind, didn't want you to go
I want you more, it seems, than you could ever know
Cigarette, cigarette, burning up time
Cigarette, cigarette, watch the smoke climb
Cigarette, cigarette, wasting away
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down
Only one hour till you're leaving this town
Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while
Thought of your face and that brought me a smile
