Perfume

The scent of skin and bone
Puts to end 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
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
