From the recording The Grand Voyage
Lyrics
Montevideo
Karine Ste-Marie, 2016
Was it all just a dream,
Was it all just a dream
Or did we roam these streets
Looking out for antiques
Run down buildings and history
Both of us dreaming away
Why’d ’you have to go
I knew you couldn’t stay
But I would’ve loved you so
Maybe next time…
I remember, remember Montevideo
And I am missing you
Broken pieces inside
Cradled by silence
Fragmented memories of you
Was it all just a dream
Was it all just a dream
Something made up in my head
Walked through so many cities
Exploring like children
Building a bond that would stay
Why’d’you let me go
The tides took us away
Still I could love you so
Maybe some day…
Chorus
We both went back home
A thousand miles away
Talking everyday hurt
Then one day you didn’t
And slowly you slipped away
Chorus
Broken pieces inside cradled by silence
Fragmented memories of you
