Poor Little Allison - Gordon Lightfoot

Poor little allison

Standing in the night wind

Wishing out loud

Turning her face to the summer rain

Poor little allison

Never had much goin'

Hard to forget

Always in step with the world she’s in Never knowin’never feelin'

Showin’so much pride

Never sayin’what she’s thinkin'

Or feelin’deep inside

Poor little allison

Dreaming of the right one

Laughing out loud

Lost in a crowd of fair weather friends

Never knowin’never feelin'

Showin’so much pride

Never sayin’what she’s thinkin'

Or feelin’deep inside

Poor little allison

Standing in the night wind,

Wishing out loud

Turning her face to the summer rain

Hard to forget

Always in step with the world she’s in
