It’s All Over but the Smoke

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jules Shear & Ron Sexsmith, Jules] Someone put the fire out But I'm still in a daze I guess shared moments pass quickly When you're going two different ways In the house where we sought cover From the storm where we were caught Turned out a terrible meeting place And a very good lightning rod [Chorus: Jules & Ron, Jules] And it's all over but the smoke And the wind it curls around, oh And everywhere to my face and hair it clings You know fire burns on hope Now there's nothing but the smoke The alarm was just too loud to let it ring [Verse 2: Ron, Jules & Ron] A fire burns so high and proud Till there's no more heights to scale And the elements don't always Quite provide a rationale One looks in the mirror And sees a flame so bright And one sees past reflection And deep into the night [Chorus: Jules & Ron] And it's all over but the smoke And the wind it curls around, oh And everywhere to my face and hair it clings You know fire burns on hope Now there's nothing but the smoke The alarm was just to loud to let it ring And it's all over but the smoke And the wind it curls around, oh And everywhere to my face and hair it clings You know fire burns on hope Now there's nothing but the smoke The alarm was just too loud to let it ring The alarm was just too loud to let it ring
