Perfume - Amy Speace

You left your scent in the fabric

When you laid, next to me

When you were gone

I would linger, in the fragrance

In the sheets

The ticking of the clock

Everybody said, everybody said don’t stop

Beat against my heart

Burried my face into your breath

That you left here in my bed

You left so slow, it was like thunder

The road it rumbled, from far away

You think it’s over, then it comes back

You were never, gonna stay

The ticking of the clock

Everybody said, everybody said to stop but

I hang on to your heart

Like a slow unraveled friend

That the … all dress

Everything changes

That’s all I know

Nothing to hold on to

Thought I’d let you go

The ticking of the clock

Everybody said, everybody said should have stopped

A thought in my head dropped

Hanging on the threads

But I never would have guessed

When you left your scent in the fabric

Where you sat, this after-noon

Been so long, to not expect

The pulling capture of your perfume
