The Tragically Hip Skeleton Park song lyrics

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)
