The Last Recluse Lyrics

Tragically Hip The Last Recluse

We rode hard for the boat, hard as we could
"No tears," you said, "Understood?"
"Understood?" I said, "All right"

'A crowd will be born', 'only born die'
I'm not one to watch for a sign in the night
Or to watch 'a bomb go off in a young girl's life'

Who are you? The Last Recluse?
Who are you? The Last Canada Goose?
Who are you? What is it with you?
Who are you? Who are you?

When the wind comes up
And the surface of the water scuffs
"Enough, enough" the ferry whistle cried
Just ride, you said, ride and shut up

I jumped on board
Turned around to wave goodbye
You were already on your bike
And riding with my bike by your side

Who are you? The Black Canoe?
Who are you? The Last Of The Immune?
Who are you? You rode out of view
As far as I knew, it was you

Who broke my heart from the start
Made me work, work so hard
To get where I am
To where I'd let you do it all again

Who are you? Who are you?
What do I do, without you?

Who are you? The Last Recluse?
Who are you? The Last Of The Immune?
Are you The Last Canoe? The Last Canada Goose?
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?

Who are you? Who are you?
