This romantic and nocturnal ballad draws on some experiences from the final night in Trois-Pistoles.

Lamppost by the church at night
Sun is fin’lly out of sight

Memories come flooding back like movies in reverse
But time crawls on; it can’t fit in your purse

Long talks right next to the sidewalk
With friends who ate all together

Big group hug
Heartstrings tugged
Au revoir

What a beautiful glimmer
With feelings so inner
and heartfelt goodbyes
With some tears in our eyes
It’s the

Lamppost there that stands so tall
Casts enough light after all

Once upon a time I feel I’ve seen this sight before
But maybe that’s a fable, nothing more

A car is parked right beside us
Its silver hue pale in moonlight

Don’t you leave
Pretty please
‘Til next time

Here’s a night to remember
With passion like embers
And lamppost as witness
To all of our business, oh

High above the river
You’ll meet folks from far and wide
Here beside the river
It’s where I had the best of times

Lamppost by the church at night
