|
through the shifting colors in the sky |
|
i heard the wild geese call. |
|
and the liwas bright and clear and cold |
|
over eastern montreal |
|
and although, i know |
|
you're only toying with me now, |
|
and although, i know |
|
you hold your affection for me like a bone on a string |
|
i love you, i love you because |
|
you gave me sausage and cheese when i was hungry. |
|
you hold your closed hand out to me |
|
and you told me to guess what you had inside |
|
and i had a thousand guesses and some of them were good |
|
but i knew for some reason that i was losing my mind |
|
when the scent came rising |
|
through the spaces between your fingers |
|
when the scent called to me |
|
and i knw we'd last at least until the end of december |
|
i love you, i love you because |
|
you gave me sausage and cheese when i was hungry |
