Richard's Story

[Verse]
Richard the journalist
Heavy smoke in the mist
Tried to stop last year
But it was too hard dear
[Verse 2]
Midnight seemed so near
Working in his room clear
Typing words without fear
Cigarettes always here
[Chorus]
Can't quit the smoke tonight
Burning through the dark light
Puffing clouds in his sight
Richard fights the long fight
[Verse 3]
Deadlines chasing his mind
Peace and calm hard to find
Ashes falling behind
In the night he's confined
[Bridge]
Midnight oil burns bright
Lost another tough fight
In his room through the night
Hopes to see morning light
[Chorus]
Can't quit the smoke tonight
Burning through the dark light
Puffing clouds in his sight
Richard fights the long fight
