The Campfires by the River

Vicki-Lin takes you to a place down by the river, you can hear the boats humming and spend the night with her, even though you know she is out of her mind, but that's why you want to stay with her. Over at the harbor, there's still tar on old ships, you sit by the fire, burning fresh wood and shells, and in the thick dark embers, you hear pine needles sizzling, and the salt glows in the coals, it smells of smoke and smoked fish, and the cabbage you found, weeks or hours ago, there on the beach.
And just as you want to say you couldn't give any love, you become one with her soul, and the river gives you the answer, it has always been this way. And you want to travel with her forever and you close your eyes, and you know you can trust her, for she has long touched you with her spirit. - Free after Leonard Cohen

(With thanks to Kylesa)

I'm definitely on Team Tea-and-Oranges instead of smoked fish and cabbage, but whatever, I guess I’ll have to test the scent out quickly now. Suzanne... Ah...

True love doesn't need many words. Was that actually your farewell to Parfumo, and are you already drifting down the river to the open sea with Vicki-Lin?

First we take Manhattan, then we take Vicki - Lin.
Cohen would be pleased with your interpretation!

I've been waiting the whole time for "and she feeds you tea and oranges." But nothing, unfortunately. Just cabbage, tar, and smoked fish... argh...

There was plenty of embellishment, but it didn't detract from the comment.
Still:
the scent, there's nothing to laugh about,
I think of smoke, fish, and stinky stuff,
he couldn't have done better for me!

Great text, Floyd.

Difficult, difficult, burnt mussels and cabbage too? But now I'm craving a grilled fish on a stick...

Looks like someone got caught! I'm always out when it comes to fish. And I don't like smoking shellfish either.

Smoked fish and cabbage? I'd rather eat that, but your review says a lot too.

And I was expecting a detailed report on the stink cabbage. But I forgive you. Vicki-Lin has definitely made an impression on you; hardly any fragrance gets that close to a top rating from you.

It actually sounds like an evening by the campfire with (more or less) good food and a pretty surprising love revelation. Susan... uh, Vicky-Lyn seems to be a special fragrance experience... :-)
