Brian Ferry - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

They, asked me how I knew,
My true love was true,
I of course replied, 
Something here inside, 
Can not be denied.

They, said some day you'll find, 
All who love are blind,
When you heart's on fire, 
You must realize, 
Smoke gets in your eyes.

So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed, 
To think they would doubt my love,
And yet today, my love has gone away,
I am without my love.

Now laughing friends deride,
Tears I cannot hide,
So I smile and say, 
When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.
