Verse 1
Mmm, walking alone through these, dark swamps,
Smoke from the fires—ah—wraps around my thoughts,
Flickering lights at old gas stations,
The road—hmm—it whispers stories stuck in the cracks.
Chorus
Kerosene and incense—oh—beer on wood,
Mmm, the earth after rain is speaking in whispers,
I’m a nomad of scents—ah—leaving my tracks,
The whole world burns inside my chest.
Verse 2
Oh, an old pub, wood soaked in beer,
The walls—they hum with stories of a tired old town,
Mmm, weary hands strumming a half-broken blues,
And between all these scents—hmm—I’m still searching too.
Chorus Repeats
Kerosene and incense—oh—beer on wood,
Mmm, the earth after rain is speaking in whispers,
I’m a nomad of scents—ah—leaving my tracks,
The whole world burns inside my chest.
[instrumental break]
Verse 3
In my dreams—mmm—I light a cigarette again,
Breathe in the time that’s—ah—long disappeared,
25 years without smoke on my lips,
But in my mind—hmm—it’s still here.
Final Chorus
Kerosene and incense—oh—beer on wood,
Mmm, the earth after rain is speaking in whispers,
I’m a nomad of scents—ah—leaving my tracks,
The whole world burns inside my chest—yeah.
