Tom Thomson
I'd let the northern river
Devour me
Let it drown me
I'd let the jack pine
Fall and crush me
Let it hush me
You'd let the Boor War
Just devour you
If it wanted to
Four rejections
One for your heart
Three for your pride
But none for mind
Cruelty and kindness
Do you know what and why they have taken?
You let the jack pine
Fall and crush you
Oh, how it loves you
The Madawaska
See the logs crash through
The water roars at you
But the true woodsman
Only needs
What he is
And the true woodsman
Starts and ends
Where he is
And if you had stayed
Would the seven have been eight?
And if you had stayed
Would you be taken anyways?
And if you had stayed
Would I have loved you just the same?
But you let Algonquin
Just devour you
It surrounded you
You let Algonquin
Just devour you
How it loved you
You let Canoe Lake
Just devour you
Til it Drowned
You
Devour me
Let it drown me
I'd let the jack pine
Fall and crush me
Let it hush me
You'd let the Boor War
Just devour you
If it wanted to
Four rejections
One for your heart
Three for your pride
But none for mind
Cruelty and kindness
Do you know what and why they have taken?
You let the jack pine
Fall and crush you
Oh, how it loves you
The Madawaska
See the logs crash through
The water roars at you
But the true woodsman
Only needs
What he is
And the true woodsman
Starts and ends
Where he is
And if you had stayed
Would the seven have been eight?
And if you had stayed
Would you be taken anyways?
And if you had stayed
Would I have loved you just the same?
But you let Algonquin
Just devour you
It surrounded you
You let Algonquin
Just devour you
How it loved you
You let Canoe Lake
Just devour you
Til it Drowned
You
