On a corner,
smoking cigarettes—
counting regrets—
the wind's cold—
I'm getting old.
There's a girl I met—
ain't told her yet.
She'll say, "No."
Guess I'll have to go.
On a bench,
smoking cigarettes—
counting regrets.
The lighter flashes—
I turn to ashes.
My Newport shrinks—
I inhale—
the years I can't unthink.
My fingers burn—
there's no return—
On a sidewalk,
smoking cigarettes—
counting regrets.
Told her yesterday—
she said yes—
I told her no.
It was time to go.
So I smoke my cigarettes—
and add another regret.
