Perfumed and smoky
She swears that she knows me
Shes falling down drunk again
I say shes mistaken
Shes visibly shaken
Emotions all drowned in gin
She said I used to be beautiful
But now its all gone
I let my dreams slip away from me
Thats where it went wrong
Go be young, go be free
Follow your heart where it leads you
Dont end up like me
The Indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns
Stories of canyons and Boston in winter
And losing his familys farms
He said Ive outlived my three sons, they died in three wars
I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died
And I know that they deserve more
Perfumed and smoky
Im falling down drunk again
I say shes mistaken
Shes visibly shaken
Emotions all drowned in gin
I say I used to be powerful
But now its all gone
I let my dreams take control of me
Thats where it went wrong
