The Tragically Hip - The Dire Wolf lyrics

In that September off, Isle Aux Morts
The desultory sea grew more
So through the night
And made one think of tawny ports
As Aspen trembling in
Tomorrow's thorough light
And of Tallulah Bankhead and Canada Lee
Somewhere far off, peaceful, sleeping
And done with acting

Past the Dire Wolf's Lair
On a Newfoundland's Paws
Close to nowhere and half way across
But never more here, expanse getting broader
Though bigger boats been done by this water
Though better boats been done by this water
Though better boats been done by less water
In that September off, Isle Aux Morts
Colourable seas grew more to
Through the night



And made one think of yawning shores
Gambier bleached in tomorrow's thorough light
And of Tallulah Bankhead and Canada Lee
Somewhere far off, peaceful, sleeping
They learned to love sleep
At the Dire Wolf's Crest
The Newfoundland paused
Desolate's best was gotten across
We were never more here
Expanse getting broader
When better boats been done by this water

At the Dire Wolf's Best
The Newfoundland paused
So desperate as to be a lost cause
You were never more hear
Expanse getting broader
When better boats been done by this water
Where bigger boats been done by less water
And better boats been done by this water
When bigger boats been done by less water
And better boats been done by this water
