lyrics

you are the loveliest
girl in the room
you are cool
you are beautifully blue

you taught me many things
that I never use
it was you you bought me
these walking shoes

and we waited for another day
to come and blow us away

like perfume
sweet perfume
drifting in out of the room
sweet perfume
the sweet illusion

but still it came undone
and still nobody won

you are the kindest and sweetest
vision of grace and godliness
you are so blessed
and I wanna thank you
for bringing out the very very worst in me
and the very best

you gave me every beat of your heart
and every inch of your breast
and I’ve no regrets
but I cannot be who you want me to be
you will be missed

and we waited for another day
to come and blow us away
to come and make it ok

like perfume
sweet perfume
drifting in out of the room
sweet perfume
the sweet illusion

about

Elvis Orbison Los Angeles, California

It’s humid. There are hundreds of mosquitoes taking samples of you. The water flows languidly, almost tumbling over itself in heaps. Even the grass is despondent. What can you do?

If you’re Brett Lyda aka Elvis Orbison, you wait. Patiently. Sooner or later something will move, letting you know it’s time. Time to move your index finger from the B string to the G. Then you wait some more.
