Affair on 8th Avenue lyrics

The perfume that she wore was from some little store

On the down side of town

And it lingered on long after she'd gone

I remember it well

And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin

And then we played a game only she could win

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 our fingers entwined like ribbons of light

And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night

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

That 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

And it lingered on long after she'd gone

I remember it well

And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin

And then we played a game only she could win

And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light

And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night
