Montreal River Lyrics

From the Montreal River where the grey beast waits

To embrace in its mouth our decay and I know

In this place there is nothing we can do or say

That would make as much sense as a harbour of snow

And the eagle thrives here they say

And the crow brings night across the bay

We will all fall here one day

So we fly anyway

I know it's you and I know I knew

I can see from the water where the rocks lay years

Layered sand layered time coloured cakes in a cliff

You in the agate your reflection shines

Pour open more rub me hard make us smooth

In my wrinkles you will find all things

And the tree makes time a ring

Tell me without saying

And we'll fly anyway

I know it's you and I know I knew

I know

It's you and I know I'm home
