Scent of a Lady
ScOmBer
Kinda autobiographical, summer, late 1980’s somewhere in the south of Spain.
“Scent of a Lady”
Remember the place
where the nights are warm to a summer taste?
Was it the moon or the music that held me?
- locked in her embrace
I pictured her face,
where only the sunrise could save me,
diamond and lace,
I was caught up in the scent of a lady.
Was I naive or was I much too young to say?
I had been bitten by a cougar -
swept up by a hoover -
on a Euro holiday!
How can it hurt when you’re just out to play?
I should have got away much sooner,
kept away from Luna -
Jumped back on a Jumbo to the USA
I was caught up in the scent of a lady!
That certain scene
in your memory can last forever!
When you’re in love with the woman of your dreams -
try to hold it together!
It ain’t what it seems,
Cause the winter wind blows in as fast as it leaves -
snapshot a moment in time it’s so crazy,
if you’re caught up in the scent of a lady!
Was I naive or was I much too young to say?
I had been bitten by a cougar -
swept up by a hoover -
on a Euro holiday!
How can it hurt when you’re just out to play?
I should have got away much sooner,
kept away from Luna -
Jumped back on a Jumbo to the USA
I was caught up in the scent of a lady!
‘caught up in the scent of a lady
Chorus repeats
