AFFAIR ON EIGHTH AVENUE

Gordon Lightfoot

Capo 2

 EmDAmBmCD
The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the down side of town.
 EmDAmBmCD
 But it lingered on long after she'd gone,  I remember it well.
 GDCD
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light,
 GEmAmFD
 And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night.

Her long flowing hair came softly undone in a pile 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 we played a game only she could win.
And she told me a riddle I'll never forget
And 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? For to live or to die, We all must be born.
So, if you should ask me what secrets I hide,
I'm only your lover, don't make me decide!

The perfume 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 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.
