I was the Queen of Westmount Park
It was all mine after dark
Old willow tree, it was my throne
'Til I, 'til I went home
Father used me like a wife
Mother turned the blindest eye
Stole my body, spirit, pride
He did, he did each night

She's been a fixture as long as I've lived here
On the corner most every night for the last six years
When she's not there
When she's not there
When she's not there
I worry about her
Worry about her
I think of all of the women

My great grandmother was a magic weaver
Came across the water and caught the fever
Wondered if her mother could hear her when
She said the words she learned to say
In the blue camhanaich all shimmering still
Dame Calluna, low Lady of the Hills
Cup of cold sun and a winterpill
Send me back on my way

Chimes in the morning
Feet to the Earth
Wild birds calling
A little Rebirth
Cold pavement pressed
Against a barefoot
Can you feel the Mother moving
Through the bonds of our works?

Oh my Montreal
Can I dream of you tonight?
Of before the fall
Your rose, your azure light
Oh you Cathedrals
Your shadows felt like loving arms
I was your child, Montreal
You would not let me come to harm

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
Promise that the dawn will bring you, you
I'm the melody and the space between
Every note the swallow sings
I'm fourteen vultures circling
I'm that crawling, dying thing

Blood on my shirt, two ripped buttons
Might've killed me that time, oh, if I'd let him
He's slow when he's drunk, and he lost his grip on me
Now I'm runnin' down la rue St. Paul
Tryna get out from the weight of it all
Can't flag a cop 'cause I know he won't stop
I'll go see Persephone
Tap, tap, tappin' on your window screen

Poison arrow be kind to me and I'll be kind to you
It's not just your poison, it's the bow, the string
Shaft and feather too
The rush of the wind
The blue sky above
The rain that soaked the ground
To give the oleander love
Go in peace be not afraid (go in peace be not afraid)

Hey Papa, hey Mama
The sun is out, oh, can I play?
Yes, my child, yes, my child
But do not leave the path today
Why Mama, why Papa?
The trees are my friends, as is the shade
The wolves have come down from the hills
They're hungry and they'll have their way

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)
Oh, I had to run, to run, to run
From Mont Royale
Aux Portes des Lions
But no freedom would come my way
Yeah, no freedom from
What he'd done to me
