Affair On 8th Avenue Lyrics

By: Gordon Lightfoot
From the album: Back Here On Earth

More tracks from back_here_on_earth


The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
I remember it well
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
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 she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
And then we played a game only she could win
And she told me a riddle i'll never forget
Then left with the answer i've never found yet

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
I'm only your lover, don't make me decide

The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
I remember it well

And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
And then we played a game only she could win
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
