Earth Air Water Trees

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 know 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
