THE TRAIL OF HER SCENT [Intro — whispered, mysterious] They say her scent would bloom Along the streets of the city… No one had ever seen her face. [Verse 1] Her fragrance blossomed through the streets, A fleeting trace beneath the moon. And everyone was mesmerized Whenever her thin fabrics flew Past the windows in the night. No one had ever seen her face, No one had ever known her name. They only caught a slender shape, A perfectly straight, graceful back, Vanishing before they could look twice. [Pre-Chorus] Her feet seemed never to touch the ground, She floated onward through the dark. Leaving behind a weightless scent, Not like the spices of the East— Something no one knew before. [Chorus] The trail of her scent, The trail of her scent… It bloomed through the sleeping town. Was she a ghost? Was she a dream? Or something waiting to be found? The trail of her scent, So light, so strange… It disappeared into the night. And those who followed with their eyes Could never catch her in the light. [Verse 2] Someone whispered, “It’s only a ghost.” And others stared into the black, As if the darkness held a door To something no one had discovered. Something new. Something rare. Something that had never had a name. And every night the same strange breeze Would pass beneath the windowpanes, And leave behind that secret trace— A fragrance with no face. [Bridge — almost whispered, hypnotic] Perhaps she was never there. Perhaps she was only a scent. Perhaps the night itself Had learned to walk… And perhaps somewhere beyond the dark There was a woman no one knew— Moving silently through the world, Leaving only what she wanted To be remembered by. [Final Chorus — wider, cinematic] The trail of her scent, The trail of her scent… Still blooming through the sleeping town. No face, no name, No footsteps heard— Just something drifting all around. The trail of her scent… And somewhere in the dark Something unknown, something rare Was waiting for someone Brave enough to follow. [Outro — whispered] That… is what her scent revealed.
