Smoke rise up and keep me going,
Into the night and early morning,
Keep me up and keep me writing,
Be sure to drift me off to sleep,
Before you go out,
Before you go out,
Smoke rise up and keep me writing,
Songs of something more than I am,
Keep me far away from lonely,
Make sure I am warm and happy.
Insist my label, avoid imitation,
I bought you at the box hill station,
Keep me bright and keep me burning,
Make sure I am well and gone
