lyrics

To the port of Montreal, I crawl,
I’m laden, I’m loaded.
The winter whilst cruel, has filled my traps,
And to find my way back.

But these are unfinished maps,
So my return was slowed.
With knees buckling and shoulders bowed,
I’ll collect what I’m owed.

I will deliver, to collect what I’m owed.

Every day is a fight,
Every muscle and all my might,
But if my heart beats, I’m alive.
Life is its own device,
All I ask is a fair price.

So I’ll traipse with these tracks and I’ll trade,
But won’t give what I’ve earned away
Though I can ask you to wait,
I know that you won’t stay.

But I will deliver and find you someday,
Yes, I’ll find you someway.

Oh my love, these are the trading lines,
Oh my love, this isn’t work, it’s life,
Oh my love, these trading lines,
And oh my love, oh my love,
If this doesn’t work, it’s life.

I will deliver, for my lover.
