Daughter of Smoke

Intro She walked out of the smoke and into the rest of her life

Verse 1 I taught her the hymns, she taught herself the door I taught her the silence, she taught herself the lighter I built her the steeple, she built herself the wind I named her after Mary, she named herself for fire

Pre-Chorus Smoke don't take direction Smoke don't take a name Smoke don't say a hymn back Smoke don't take the blame

Chorus Daughter of smoke, daughter of smoke Walked through the wall my mother spoke Carried the match the long way home Daughter of smoke, you go alone

Verse 2 She left the porch light on for me She left the screen door swinging in She left the Bible on the table She left a note that said amen

Pre-Chorus Smoke don't take direction Smoke don't take a name Smoke don't say a hymn back Smoke don't take the blame

Bridge I am the daughter of smoke and the daughter of grace I am the daughter who carried the lighter for days I am the daughter who learned where the porch lamp ends I am the daughter who is not coming back again Daughter of smoke, daughter of smoke Walked through the wall my mother spoke Carried the match the long way home Daughter of smoke, you go alone

Outro Daughter of smoke, you go alone
