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 knw 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.
