Lyrics:

She was always such a sweet lady
I went down, down to to Montreal
To trace her younger days
A half-smoked cigarette and a broken phrase
I went down, down to St Laurent

Chorus:
et c'est la que j'ai vu
le ciel et la terre tout pres de moi
et c'est la que j'ai vu
tout au meme temps

Sometimes I think about Rita
She'll hunt down words just to feed you
I wrote it down, and it became a song

(Chorus)

Now I think about David
And what he was like as a little kid
I walked down and introduce myself

He must have shaken lots of hands
Learned the language of many a man
I walked down and introduce myself

(chorus)
