A Montreal Song Songtext

I turned on the TV war news Just to look and wonder why Thunder crashed and red flash-flowers bloomed a nightmare in the sky So I went down to the cafe Just to string myself along On the way i found some riches -- Played the jukebox, got this song While I sat there a ragged man came -- Bummed a coffee, talked awhile Told me stories full of wonder -- Left me laughing like a well-loved child.
