Lyrics Three Pistols - The Tragically Hip

Three Pistols

Tom thompson came paddling past i’m pretty sure it was him and he spoke so softly in accordance to the growing of the dim he Said, «bring on the brand new renaissance cause i think i’m ready i’ve been
shaking all night long but my hands are steady»
Three pistols came and three people went, on their way three pistols strong and
three people spent
Well he found his little, lonely love his bride of the northern woods but,
she took me to the opera house like he said she would
Then she sighed and she fell from the balcony shakespeare’s bent to touch she
never had any time for me cause i didn’t protest
Enough
Three pistols came and three people went, on their way two pistols strong and
three people spent
Little girls come on rememberance day placing flowers on his grave she waits in the shadows 'til after dark to sweep them all
Away
I say, bring on the brand new renaissance cause i think i’m ready i’ve been
shaking all night long but my hands are steady
Three pistols came and three people went, on their way three pistols strong and
three people spent three pistols came and three
People went on their way one pistol strong and three people spent
