Montreal - Allison Crowe

Spent a little time in Montreal

With a fire in the sun

Smokescreen covering

Over the entire city

And you know

I think that I saw you

In a different light

Whether or not

It was the wine

A quiet determination

Maybe something or someone

That you didn’t know existed in you

And I think I loved you

Even more

So come on Follow me down the alleyway

Upside down sign is hanging upright

In the door

Sitting on the steps in Montreal

I’m waiting for you

To spread your wings

Rage building

Held under by a desire

To understand

And I think I got it The mystery that

I saw in my dreams

Became you in the flesh

Bones and all

S’come on,

Follow me down the alleyway

Upside down sign is hanging upright

In the door

Sitting on the steps in Montreal

I’m waiting for you

To spread your wings

You just sat there

In the background on the canvas

Watching me Knowing every little fear

Phobia and twitch

Quietly laughing to yourself

Keeping me inside you

Away from the fear

Surrounding me Come on,

Follow me down the alleyway

Upside down sign is hanging upright

In the door

Sitting on the steps in Montreal

I’m waiting for you

To spread your wings.
