She wanted to make peace with her long history
She bought a ticket to a remote location
It said that it is beautiful,
The aurora borealis
In the Chibougamau sky
Nothing to do with Montreal
She found a real job
As a waitress at the Pub Royal
She bought a beautiful dress
It doesn't hurt to be cute
To all the morning when the sun
Came up at the head of the lake
She thanked a patch of sky
Her life was still intact
In the chaos, the clutter
She found a northern corner
For quietly restarting her life
Finally blend in with the scenery
More than a pretty girl
She had something discreet
Pain in the pupils
And long sleeves in the month of July
She had a love
To put the needle through her veins
Numb her humanity
Drown her memories coming back
But even changing names
And color of the hair
Asking forgiveness every night
In something that approaches God
It remains in her heart
Drawers that won't close properly
Which remind her daily
That it's only on the way*
It had said that it was beautiful
The aurora borealis
In the Chibougamau sky
Nothing to do with Montreal
