Lonely End of the Rink

The Tragically Hip · World Container [2006]

I looked up and you were there

just sitting there all alone

holding your fist in the air

like, if you need me you're on your own



You drove me home through a snowy tomb

I fell asleep in my seat

I had the dream of having no room

you were there just staring at me



At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me



Oh to join the rush

as the season builds



I hear your voice 'cross a frozen lake

a voice from the end of a leaf

saying, 'you won't die of a thousand fakes

or be beaten by the sweetest of dekes'



At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, the lonely end of the rink



Oh to join the rush

as the season builds

Jump into the rush

as the seasons build



You drove me home through a snowy gloom

and I fell asleep in my seat

then I had the dream of having no room

you were there just staring at me



At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, the lonely end of the rink.
