City Walls

When I think of you my belly aches

For time gone by for simpler days

For bare feet in the summer sun and

Red cheeks in the winter

You made me feel a winner

When I dream of you I’m by the lake

Star gazing at your wondrous ways

Of how our years together were so special

Untouched by the the Devil

The place I took my first steps

Where my brother had his last breath

My childhood tagged on your city walls

Way up on your mountain top

with those quirky views and vintage shops

You built me up you broke me down

You taught me how run how take an epic fall

Before I knew the hurt of it all

Montreal

That day we moved down to the south

I cried so much my tears ran out

I felt I’d lived a lifetime even then

When I was 10

When I go back you’re still the same

But I hold on to our younger days

Days that stay stuck back in time

When you were mine

The place I took my first steps

Where my brother had his last breath

My childhood tagged on your city walls

Way up on your mountain top

with those quirky views and vintage shops

You built me up you broke me down

You taught me how run how take an epic fall

Before I knew the hurt of it all

Montreal

The place I took my first steps

Where my brother had his last breath

When he died we danced until the light of day

He would’ve wanted it that way

I see him from your mountain top

I feel him in those vintage shops

You built me up you broke me down

You taught me how run how take an epic fall

I loved you through the hurt of it all

Montreal

The place I took my first steps

Where my brother had his last breath

As time goes by nothing stays the same

But to me you’ll never change
