Montevideo

[Verse 1]
On the river edge, I’m waking up
Salt on the wind, and the road runs up
Montevideo on the map
Small world, big heart, it hits like that

Brazil to the north, I feel the line
Border running close like a thin white sign
In the morning haze, I hear it glide
A little nation with a restless pride

[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, say it slow
Where the green grass and the cold waves go
Hold me close, let the night unfold
There’s a fire in the southern cold

[Chorus]
Montevideo, take me in
(Oh, Montevideo)
Montevideo, where I begin
(Oh, Montevideo)
Smallest shore, strongest glow
I can feel your pulse below
Montevideo, take me in
(Oh, Montevideo)

[Verse 2]
Spanish on the signs and in the air
Every corner knows you were standing there
Capital city, bright and low
A moving light in a midnight glow

I cross the blocks with a steady beat
Old stone steps and a dancing street
At the edge of dusk, I hear it call
A small red spark that can outshine all

[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, say it slow
Where the green grass and the cold waves go
Hold me close, let the night unfold
There’s a fire in the southern cold

[Chorus]
Montevideo, take me in
(Oh, Montevideo)
Montevideo, where I begin
(Oh, Montevideo)
Smallest shore, strongest glow
I can feel your pulse below
Montevideo, take me in
(Oh, Montevideo)

[Bridge]
Borders fade when the night is near
One small place, but the signal clear
Uruguay in my chest, I know
Tiny frame with a giant soul

[Final Chorus]
Montevideo, take me in
(Oh, Montevideo)
Montevideo, where I begin
(Oh, Montevideo)
Smallest shore, strongest glow
I can feel your pulse below
Montevideo, take me in
(Oh, Montevideo)
