The perfume that she woreWas from some little storeOn the down side of townBut it lingered on Long after she’d goneI remember it wellAnd our fingers entwined like ribbons of lightAnd we came through a doorway somewhere in the nightHer long flowing hair came softly undoneAnd it lay all aroundAnd she brushed it down As I stood by her sideIn the warmth of her loveAnd she showed me her treasures of paper and tinAnd then we played a game only she could winAnd she told me a riddle I’ll never forgetThen left with the answer I’ve never found yetHow long, said she, can a moment like thisBelong to someoneWhat’s wrong, what is right, when to live or to die?We must almost be bornSo if you should ask me what secrets I hideI’m only your lover; don’t make me decideThe perfume that she wore Was from some little storeOn the down side of townBut it lingered on Long after she’d goneI remember it wellAnd she showed me her treasures of paper and tinAnd then we played a game only she could winAnd our fingers entwined like ribbons of lightAnd we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
