I Was Gone

I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously ... Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken from me Our tree was full and green, I had to leave it The sadness was overwhelming, to be alone beneath it The sun came down hot and hard, I could never sleep To disappear was the only way I could find relief When I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously ... Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken so suddenly First I paid my respects to Glenn Gould And then I visited the grave of Alexander Muir Next to Eaton's tomb, I hung my head and cried Looking for Joseph Mulgrew, I gave up and died When I was buried... The birds sang for the flowers in bloom, spring had just begun Recently fitted for a suit, now lying in a box By summer, I was gone, my remains stolen from the ground My body never recovered and I was never found ... Until now I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, between the monuments and trees At the heart of the city, Amongst the statues and fountains New life could begin, where the old path I ran came to and end
