The Bear Lyrics

Artist: Tragically Hip
Album: Music @ Work

I was first attracted by your scent
Your heart must be a caramelized onion
By the time I saw your flame
it was all over for you and whashisname.

I think it was Algonquin Park
It was so cold and winter-dark
A promised hibernation high
took me across the great black plate of ice.

Now Iâ‚¬â„¢m the Islander.
I found a place to call my den
and dreamt of the Ferry and
the Enormous Man
Huge as were his children
following around after him

Iâ‚¬â„¢m the Islander
woke up in the furtive Spring
more capable of anything

I waited for more men to come
hey docked their boats and cocked their guns
The time for truth and reconciliationâ‚¬â„¢s gone
But with my belly full I intended to get
something done

Iâ‚¬â„¢m the Islander
woke up in the dead of spring
more hungry than anything
Islander
