One More Cigarette
(words and music by Sam Russell)

Sam:
the night turns to Easter, it’s my new birthday
just like in a past life, that comes back when you say
let’s have one more cigarette while parked in driveway
let’s have one more cigarette before night turns into day

Diana, Diana, "put your head on my shoulder"
Diana, Diana, "wouldn’t it be nice if we were older"

and I wouldn’t have to fight the high of a homesick
with you around, I don’t look down, it all comes back with the flick
of just one more cigarette before I get on track
just one more cigarette before smoke covers crack

Diana, Diana, "there’s a place where lovers go"
Diana, Diana, "sooner or later one of us must know"

that it goes without saying, all these songs in our heads
reincarnate everything, even the regret

it’ll be church in a few hours but we won’t be there
to hear your sister singing, instead our throats will tear
from just one more cigarette before I go inside
just one more cigarette, before away you ride

Diana, Diana, "I saw the harbor lights"
Diana, Diana, "don’t worry baby, we’ll make it alright"

with just one more cigarette, just one more cigarette
just one more cigarette

when we get to heaven we’ll walk down the streets paved with gold
when we get to heaven I know we won’t have to grow old
when we get to heaven we’ll stand on the top of the sun
when we get to heaven away from dark fields we’ll run
