Perfume

The scent of skin and bone
Puts end to all our woes
Bring empires to their halt
Steals the breath from lungs
Fragrance of love
Can tear a man apart
Long way from home
The traces of her perfume is all I got
The first note descends
Enough to stop a heart
The third note becomes
A familiar sense of home
Fragrance of love
Can tear a man apart
Long way from home
The traces of her perfume is all I got
Time ticks like a slow tap drips down a hole
Waiting for the bright lights and the curtain call
And I don’t feel, I don’t feel myself
Feel like a hopeless soul
Fragrance of love
Can tear a man apart
I don’t feel, I don’t feel myself
Fragrance of love
Can tear a man apart
Long way from home
The trace of her perfume is all I’ve got
