Well, she's into mandalas and eastern religion And one thing she's plagued with is indecision And she rides on the summer breeze And she only takes what she needs Living her life so free And everybody else is to scared to leave Well she smells like patchouli and Northfield lights And she's keeping me warm on these winter nights She'll be gone in the morning But she stays in my memories Its the smell of patchouli (it's the smell of patchouli) The smell of patchouli Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da She got no good reason To stay in this rainy town 'Cause she follows the season She follows the summer down And she longs for the emerald sea And the sun shining through the trees Waiting so patiently Feast her eyes on something she has to see She smells like patchouli and Northfield lights And she's keeping me warm on these winter nights She'll be gone in the morning But she stays in my memories Its the smell of patchouli (it's the smell of patchouli) The smell of patchouli Love her while you can 'Cause you might never get the chance to say goodbye She don't need anyone by her side She flies by night Let her out of your sight and she'll find someone else to believe in Turn around and she's leavin' And she smells like patchouli and Northfield lights And she's keeping me warm on these winter nights She'll be gone in the morning But she stays in my memories Its the smell of patchouli (it's the smell of patchouli) The smell of patchouli
