Music & Lyrics by Kristia Di Gregorio - copyright 2013
lyrics
One more song, one more song
Before the last call
The man at the keys could play any tune
In the dance halls of Montreal
Stumble home, stumble home
Far too late again
The angry wife is silent this time
For she has hatched a plan
Oh you quiet weaver
Oh you daytime dreamer
Living out the brilliance you hid so well
But night you were a player
And she feared a strayer
The disappearance of Antoine Labelle
Sleep it off, sleep it off
The banging at the door
The men who have come to take him away
Cannot be ignore
Your father's gone, your father's dead
That's what they were told
All his things were packed away
And his piano sold
Oh you quiet weaver
Oh you daytime dreamer
Living out the brilliance you hid so well
But night you were a player
And she feared a strayer
The disappearance of Antoine Labelle
Another day, another day
On monastery grounds
Tending to a tidy life
Where he would not be found
Longing for, longing for
And instrument to play
He had not sung a note
Since he was locked away
Oh you quiet weaver
Oh you daytime dreamer
Living out the brilliance you hid so well
But night you were a player
And she feared a strayer
The disappearance of Antoine Labelle
There was a call, there was a call
After so much time
Came the strange and sudden news
Crackling down the line
He was gone, he was gone
There was no false alarm
He was kept for fifty years
Far from music's harm
Oh you quiet weaver
Oh you daytime dreamer
Living out the brilliance you hid so well
But night you were a player
And she feared a strayer
The disappearance of Antoine Labelle
