The Coast

Canadian cold
Canadian cheer
I couldn't spend another winter up here
In this desolate fishing town
Counting the months as they wear me down
Watch over your flock
The cracks in the ice will swallow them up
The lake needs to eat just like living things
And it's hungriest in the spring
Now you know
What's eating me
Taking hold
It was dragging me down
It was dragging me down
The town is always on alert
In the Spring they patrol the coast
Fearing the worst
But no one can seem to accept the fact
The lake gives us life and she takes it back
Now you know
What's eating me
Taking hold
It was dragging me down
It was dragging me down in the valley where they found the body
It was growing cold
Now you know
What's eating me
Taking hold
It was dragging me down
It was dragging me down
Now you know
What's eating me
In the dawn, another girl had gone missin'
Last anyone heard, she'd gone out to go fishin'
The cracks in the lake make a mighty fine grave in the Summer thaw
