The Bear Lyrics - Singles - Tragically Hip

I was first attracted by your scent 

Your heart must be a caramelised onion 

By the time I saw your flame 

It was all over for you and what's his name 

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 I'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 

I'm the islander 

I woke up in the furtive spring 

More capable of anything 

I waited for more men to come 

They docked their boats and cocked their guns 

The time for truth and reconciliation's gone 

But with my belly full I intended to get something done

I'm the islander 

I woke up in the dead of spring 

More hungry than anything 

I'm the islander 

I'm the islander
