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 in a pile 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

And 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? For to live or to die,?

?We all must be born.?

So, if you should ask me what secrets I hide,

I?m only your lover, don?t make me decide!
