"Perfume" lyrics

"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
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
