I think it was Algonquin park

A promised hibernation high

And dreamt of the ferry and the enormous man

Huge as were his children 
                          B  A    B  A

More capable of anything

I waited for more men to come 
                                         F#  E 
They docked their boats and cocked their guns 
                                        F#  E 
The time for truth and reconciliation's gone 
                                         B         A 
But with my belly full I intended to get something done

I'm the islander

More hungry than anything
