O Canada, you took me in
Just beneath your native skin
To the land we both belonged to years ago
O pal of mine, how young it was
Mountie you and Yankee cuz
Dog days, adolescent fuzz
Distortion, gain, delay
O Canada, you took me in
You took me in
You took me in
O Canada
A summer long, a lakefront green
The profile of departed queen
Sat sweating by mosquito screens
In doors upon the wild
You gave your heart, I deigned a glance
It seemed so plain, but you got fancy
Saw through it
You were still a child
O Canada, you took me in
You took me in
You took me in
O Canada
In my pocket, getting warm
Like August in November
In my pocket, getting warm
A value-vacant ember
O Canada
O Canada, your penny buys
Not much more than a pair of eyes
Red and cold like dragonflies
That troll the lake at dawn
That's how much our stories earn
Worthless as a mountain fern
Summer glows for Fall to burn
For Fall to burn
O Canada, you took me in
You took me in
You took me in
O Canada, you took me in
You took me in
You took me in
O Canada
