lyrics

The North Pond Hermit went away back in 1986
Didn’t have all that much to say packed a bag and hit the bricks
27 years, a thousand crimes 40 burglaries a year
That’s cost of peace of mind if you want to disappear
Through harsh Maine Winters
All covered in splinters!
Forgot his voice, lost his face slept all day and he walked at night
Never left behind a trace tucked away out of sight
Phantom of the woods, a legend to some stories got a little contrived
Foraging and stolen goods he did what he did to stay alive
Through harsh Maine Winters
All covered in splinters!
He survived
Then one day in 2013 the North Pond Hermit tripped a wire
Lights and cameras, TV screens felt more like a funeral pyre
Caged him up like a wild bear they wondered why he didn’t fight
Poor hygiene and greasy hair do you think he dreamed at night?
Of harsh Maine Winters
All covered in splinters!
They cut him loose, they let him go served his time and walked away
I don’t think we’ll ever know If he intends to stay
We could learn a thing or two about how to live our lives
Do what it is you gotta do The North Pond Hermit lead the fight
Through harsh Maine Winters
All covered in splinters!
He survived
