lyrics
In the heart of every time
tender as a stone
Wandering roads to mend my mind
never finding home
And still without the wine
I stumble in the cold
Holding on to dreams I won’t let go
I know you’re coming for me
My snow angel on rue Saint-Denis
Montréal, when will you fall
Montréal, Montréal
Montréal, Montréal
My heart’s an old suitcase with a zipper that won’t go
worn with secrets you might never know
And still without the wine
I stumble in the cold
Holding on to dreams I won’t let go
Oh I know you’re coming for me
My snow angel on Rue Saint-Denis
Montréal, when will you fall
Montréal, Montréal
Montréal, Montréal
Time is relatively easy
when you don’t look it in the eye
Time’s a banker running home
Time’s a broken microphone
There’s never enough time
In the heart of every time
tender as a stone
Wandering roads to mend my mind
never finding home
And with so little time
I shout into the cold
Hold on Baby, I’m not letting go
I know you’re coming for me
My snow angel on Rue Saint-Denis
Montréal, when will you fall
Montréal, Montréal
Montréal, Montréal
