Lyrics

Standing at the edge of the barstool
looking me directly in the eye
I say "aren't you the girl I left ten years ago
choking on a dream
gaggling cackling and singing?"
deploring the scent of thee

You say "aren't you the man I loved ten years ago
as peculiar as it might be
I can tell
by the scent of thee"

I had a life that never lifted
to the love that was inside of me
I fell by the road
but I never lost the glow
of what is now standing
right in front of me - but

You don't look at me with love
you look at me with sympathy
you say "aren't you the man who left
ten years ago
as peculiar as it might be
I can tell
by the scent of thee"

Landing at the back of the barroom
the moon is blinding me in the eye
thinking that the way in
is usually the way out
but you don't get there unless you die
for the scent of thee
