In Skeleton Park, one fine summer evening The sun teased the dark, like the last strawberry I could hear them on the breeze, hear them moving through the trees The ghosts of the Rideau Canal start to sing And patting the grass you said, Come sit next to me be my sweetheart Over in Skeleton Park In Skeleton Park, I couldn't see anything A raven took the moon and tucked it under her wing I could hear them in the rain, hear them dripping from the leaves Widows of the Rideau Canal softly sing And underneath the trees you said, Please watch over me you are my heart Over in Skeleton Park (Hear them sing) In Skeleton Park, my dreams went a scattering Multiplying light, for all there was to see And then in the dawn I wept for all them ghosts and (?) my broken heart Over in Skeleton Park Oh over in Skeleton Park Meet me in Skeleton Park Over in Skeleton Park (Hear them sing)
