Fog also has an unmistakable smell
|
A mixture of burnt wood and damp leaves
|
It tastes a bit of autumn and a cloudy canal
|
It tastes a little like school and a little cold in the stomach
|
He knows about my city, he knows about the university
|
It tastes in the morning, it tastes of backward sleep
|
It tastes like soot and it also tastes a little bit about me
|
What I am and what I have been
|
There is some perfume that passes and that goes
|
It seems to move away but then it will come back
|
Is there any scent that comes with its wake
|
It sticks to memory and doesn't want to go away
|
I remember the first time I arrived in New York
|
I was immediately struck by its intense smell
|
Of every kind of fried food imaginable
|
Of every conceivable type of food
|
And a cafeteria
|
Of iron and railroad
|
That rises from the metro and slides into the street
|
Boutique aromas
|
Of dirt and liquids
|
The torrid smell of the changing world
|
There is some perfume that passes and that goes
|
It seems to move away but then it will come back
|
Is there any scent that comes with its wake
|
It sticks to memory and doesn't want to go away
|
There is some perfume that passes and that goes
|
It seems to move away but then it will come back
|
Is there any scent that comes with its wake
|
It sticks to memory and doesn't want to go away
|
And the sofa that tastes like soft leather
|
Of pizza by the slice in the salon and complicity
|
Vanilla candles and TV movies
|
And those products that you always spray around
|
Recognizable
|
Indescribable
|
It doesn't look like a specific thing
|
There is in every room and
|
Makes me feel that
|
It is my perfume it is the perfume of home
|
There is some perfume that passes and that goes
|
It seems to move away but then it will come back
|
Is there any scent that comes with its wake
|
It sticks to memory and doesn't want to go away
|
There is a perfume that passes and that goes
|
It seems to move away but then it will come back
|
Is there any scent that comes with its wake
|
It sticks to memory and doesn't want to go away
|
There is a perfume that passes and that goes
|
It seems to move away but then it will come back
|
Is there any scent that comes with its wake
|
It sticks to memory and doesn't want to go away ... |
