Skeleton Park Songtext

von The Tragically Hip

In Skeleton park, one fine summer evening
The sun teased the dark, like the last strawberry
I could hear them on the breeze
Hear them moving through the trees
The ghosts of the Rideau canal start to sing
And patting the grass you said
Come sit next to me, be my sweetheart

Over in Skeleton park

In Skeleton park, I couldn't see anything
A raven took the moon and tucked it under her wing
I could hear them in the rain
Hear them dripping from the leaves
Widows of the Rideau canal softly sing
And underneath the trees you said
Please watch over me you are my heart

Over in Skeleton park
(Hear them sing)

In Skeleton park, my dreams went a scattering
Multiplying light, for all there was to see
And then in the dawn I wept for all them ghosts and
My broken heart

Over in Skeleton park, oh, over in Skeleton park
Meet me in Skeleton park, over in Skeleton park
(Hear them sing)
