Gordon Lightfoot - Affair On 8th Avenue Lyrics
The perfume that she wore was from some little storeOn the down side of townBut it lingered on long after shed 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 Ill never forgetThen left with the answer Ive never found yetHow long, said she, can a moment like thisBelong to someoneWhats wrong, what is right, when to live or to dieWe must almost be bornSo if you should ask me what secrets I hideIm only your lover, dont make me decideThe perfume that she wore was from some little storeOn the down side of townBut it lingered on long after shed 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
