Poor Little Allison Lyrics - 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 fair weather 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
