By The Drifter From Heaven A sweet scent of ladies' perfume awakens a sleeping desire, A place and a face I could no longer name still exist, A lingering shadow that won't fade—its hold persists, A misty room full of pain, my soul cannot resist. My heart thuds in a thundering despair, A sorrowful chasm deep in my core—a fissure with no repair, In agony my heart clings like a vine in the kindling of a new love, A new face and place—a new scent that makes my heart throb.

Scent of Hope
By The Drifter From Heaven A sweet scent of ladies' perfume awakens a sleeping desire, A place and a face I could no longer name still exist, A lingering shadow that won't fade—its hold persists, A misty room full of pain, my soul cannot resist. My heart thuds in a thundering despair, A sorrowful chasm deep in my core—a fissure with no repair, In agony my heart clings like a vine in the kindling of a new love, A new face and place—a new scent that makes my heart throb.
