I'm Sent
This was written in response to a skirmish challenge at FAWM 2023.
This is when a host offers you a theme and you have an hour to write the song, record it and post it to the FAWM website. In this case the prompt was "Scent".
I played with the homophone of scent/sent for the title.
LYRICS & CHORDS
Intro: (D)
Your scent on my (Bm) fingers
Your perfume in the (D) air
The taste of you (Bm) lingers
Like a chocolate é(D)clair
A deep breath is (G) taken
Let those molecules (D) float
Let me not be mis(A)taken
I want to savour every (D) note
I relish that (Bm) fragrance
I need a lungful at (D) least
You’re under sur(Bm)veillance
As we pause our love (D) feast
Our pheromones in (G) sync
Is this love in the (D) air?
Are we on the (A) brink
Of a true love af(D)fair
Are we floating on (G) air
Is our love in a(D)scent?
All I can con(A)firm is
Darling I am (D) sent
Without your a(Bm)roma
Would this have any (D) taste?
You are really the (Bm) soma
On which my pleasure’s (D) based
To live without you (G) now
Would be a living (D) hell
I would go through cold (A) turkey
If deprived of your (D) smell
CHORUS
