Poor Little Allison, ©1969 by Gordon Lightfoot

Poor little Allison, standing in the night wind 
Laughing out loud, turning her face to the summer rain 
Poor little Allison, never had much going 
Hard to forget, always in step with the world she's in 

Never knowing, never feeling, showing so much pride 
Never saying what she's thinking or feeling deep inside 

Poor little Allison, dreaming of the right one 
Laughing out loud, lost in a crowd of fairweather friends 

Never knowing, never feeling, showing so much pride 
Never saying what she's thinking or feeling deep inside

Poor little Allison, standing in the night wind, 
Wishing out loud, turning her face to the summer rain 
Hard to forget, always in step with the world she's in
