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.
