I'm over my toes, I'm under my hat
I got eight lives less than a cat
that's not all, there's more to it than that
but what, I can't say
the sundogs have come out to play!
I feel like an ice age saying, Farewell
I feel like a tale for others to tell
I walk on the river with Louis Riel
who said he'd love to stay
but the sundogs have come out to play!
When the waste of winter lies in my heart
lights dance in the north in the dark
these magnetic movements, a spectral arc
that rises and then fades away
the sundogs have come out to play!
My nose is running, I'm falling behind
I got hoarfrost on my mind
Yesterday's deaf and tomorrow is blind
but that don't matter today
the sundogs have come out to play!
