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
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
Ooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooo
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
