Smoke From The Chimney - Tony Joe White

Smoke from the chimney\nA little chill in the air\nThe old folks by the fire\nIn their rocking chairs\nThe cotton fields are empty\nAnd the garden is gone\nThere’s smoke from the chimney\nSays winters' comin' home\nAnd so many things can change while you’re gone\nTime goes by so fast\nAnd they say you can never really go back home\nThe memories still last\nAnd I see the faces\nA little weather by the years\nI can feel the warm hugs\nAnd smile through my tears\nSome things are special\nThey don’t ever fade away\nLike smoke from the chimney\nAnd dreams of yesterday\nSome things are special\nThey don’t ever fade away\nLike smoke from the chimney\nAnd dreams of yesterday\nLike smoke from the chimney\nAnd dreams of yesterday
