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 all 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 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 Now you know Now you know What's eating me In the dawn, another girl had gone missing Last anyone heard, she'd gone out to go fishing The cracks in the lake make a mighty fine grave In the summer thaw
