letra de affair on 8th avenue (gold) - gordon lightfoot

[verse 1]
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
maybe we played a game only she could win

[verse 2]
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 she left with the answer i’ve never found yet

[verse 3]
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
well i’m only your lover, don’t make me decide
[verse 4]
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
maybe 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
