1968

The perfume that she wore
Was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on
Long after she'd gone
I remember it well
And our fingers entwined
Like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway
Somewhere in the night

Her long flowing hair
Came softly undone
And it lay all around
And she brushed it down
As I stood by her side
In the warmth of her love

And she showed me her treasures
Of paper and tin
And we played a game
Only she could win
And she told me a riddle
I'll never forget
Then left with the answer
I've never found yet

How long, said she,
Can a moment like this
Belong to someone
What's wrong, what is right,
When to live or to die
We must almost be born
So if you should ask me
What secrets I hide
I'm only your lover,
Don't make me decide

The perfume that she wore
Was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on
Long after she'd gone
I remember it well

And she showed me her treasures
Of paper and tin
And we played a game
Only she could win
And our fingers entwined
Like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway
Somewhere in the night
