Lyrics
Oh Canada, you took me in
Just beneath your native skin
To the land we both belonged to years ago
Oh pal of mine, how young it was
Mountie you and Yankee cuss
Dog days, adolescent fuss
Distortion, gain, delay
Oh Canada, you took me in
You took me in
You took me in
Oh Canada
A summer long, a lakefront green
The profile of departed queens
Sat sweating by mosquito screens
Indoor's upon the wild
You gave your heart, I tamed a glance
It seemed so plain but you got fancy
Saw through it, you were still a child
Oh Canada, you took me in
You took me in
You took me in
Oh Canada
In my pocket getting warm
Like August in November
In my pocket getting warm
A valium vacant amber
Oh Canada
Oh Canada, your penny buys
Not much more than a pair of eyes
Red and cold like dragonflies
That troll the lake at dawn
That's how much our stories earn
Worthless as a mountain fern
Summer glows for fall to burn
For fall to burn
Oh Canada, you took me in
You took me in
You took me in
Oh Canada, you took me in
You took me in
You took me in
Oh Canada
