I wrote this song while in Cairo. I was amazed at the sea of people, the myriad mazes, marvels - old and new. I was always greatly impressed by the perfume vendors and their ability to concoct any scent known to man. Smell is such a powerful sense. It has the ability to instantly conjur up a strong memory, or transport you to another time and place. To this day, the smell of yerba buena always reminds me of the time when I was seven years old, and my brother Michael and I would run through our neighbor, Mrs. Salie's, garden just to smell the tea leaves growing in the shade.
