Lyrics
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
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
