Lyrics

The Spirit Of The Bear

Verse 1:
I’m the elephant in the room
A leopard unchanging
I’m the house that spoiled the view
I’m nothing worth saving

I blame it on the mountains
I blame it on the sea
I blame it on the rivers
Running through me

I blame it on the songbirds
Singing off key
I blame it on the people
Bothering me

But most of all
I’m cynical
I blame it all on me

Verse 2:
I’m the dirt before the broom
The colours that faded
I’m the flower that failed to bloom
The game we’re not playing

I blame it on the mountains
I blame it on the sea
I blame it on the rivers
Running through me

I blame it on the songbirds
Singing off key
I blame it on the people
Bothering me
Yeah…

Chorus:
Then a tidal wave washed over me
And woke the spirit of the bear that I see in my dreams
I had no idea that he was following me
Now I have no fear

Solo

I was the elephant in the room
A leopard unchanging

Chorus X2:
Then a tidal wave washed over me
And woke the spirit of the bear that I see in my dreams
I had no idea that he was following me
Now I have no fear
