Bruce Cockburn - A Montreal Song lyrics

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.
