Perfume of Wings

Verse 1]

I believed in your kisses,

In the fire of your eyes,

Got lost in forever

Under endless skies.

I went down to the bottom,

I climbed up to the stars,

Now the night feels empty…

And you’re nowhere in my arms.

There’s a cold wind blowing,

Through the bones of my soul,

A scent of wings still shaking

Dreams I can’t control…

Oh, a perfume of wings

That rattles my dreams,

Fly on, fly on —

This pain’s tearing at the seams.

Yeah, a perfume of wings

Through these broken things,

Fly on, baby —

This hurt is killing me.

And now you’re gone, my darlin’,

Turned gold into cold gray stone,

Turned kisses into whispers

The wind carries alone.

I’m walking over splinters

On these asphalt streets at night,

Every step’s a memory

That cuts me deep inside.

Streetlights flicker lonely,

Like stars that lost their shine,

I’m breathing but I’m fading…

Living while I’m dying.

Oh, a perfume of wings

That rattles my dreams,

Fly on, fly on —

This pain’s tearing at the seams.

Yeah, a perfume of wings

Through these broken things,

Fly on, baby —

This hurt is killing me.

I’m here on these streets of splinters,

With a heart nailed to my chest,

Your love was a sweet addiction,

Now it won’t let me rest.

I’m dying in the daylight,

Crying in the dark,

You left me with the echo

Of your shadow in my heart.

Oh, that perfume of wings

Still shaking my dreams,

Fly on, fly on —

Though the sorrow screams.

Yeah, perfume of wings

Through these broken things,

Fly on, baby…

While I’m dying in between.
