Well, Tom Thomson came paddling past |
|
I'm pretty sure it was him |
|
And he spoke so softly in accordance |
|
To the growing of the dim |
|
He said, "Bring on a brand new renaissance |
|
'Cause I think I'm ready |
|
Well, I've been shaking all night long |
|
But my hands are steady" |
|
And three pistols came (yeah, sweep them all away) |
|
And three people went on their way |
|
Three pistols strong |
|
And three people spent |
|
Well, he found his little, lonely love |
|
His bride of the northern woods |
|
But she took me to the Opera House |
|
Like he said she would |
|
Then she sighed and she fell from the balcony |
|
Shakespeare's bent to touch |
|
She never had any time for me |
|
'Cause I didn't protest enough |
|
And three pistols came (yeah, sweep them all away) |
|
And three people went on their way |
|
Two pistols strong |
|
And two people spent |
|
Well, little girls come on Remembrance Day |
|
Placing flowers on his grave |
|
She waits in the shadows till after dark |
|
To sweep them all away |
|
I say, bring on the brand new renaissance |
|
'Cause I think I'm ready |
|
Well, I've been shaking all night long |
|
But my hands are steady |
|
And three pistols came (yeah, sweep them all away) |
|
And three people went on their way |
|
Three pistols strong |
|
And three people spent |
|
And three pistols came (yeah, sweep them all away) |
|
And three people went on their way |
|
One pistol strong |
|
And three people spent |
