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
