Scent of a woman

just two people passin' by in a lonely room
full of happy people, she was leavin' with
a smile

a scent of a woman lookin' for somethin'
she just couldn't find and I saw her go off
into her dark cloak of the night

wondering, would I have stopped, would
I have paid attention to that faint scent of
a woman

so close, so near waitin' for me to take her
away into the still of this night, would she
then not have passed me by

I failed, I wasn't prepared we were just
passers by
