Grey Ice Water

[Verse 1]

You're standing by the grey ice water

Out in the wind above ground out in the weather

You had yourself a crazy lover

Becoming frozen trying hard to forget her

[Chorus]

You got a job up in Alaska

To save what the cannery pays

There ain't no way to spend it

On the boat, it's a fish trap

[Verse 2]

You took the path of least resistance

On the phone, cutting out talking

Short to long, long, long distance

You're standing by the grey ice water

[Verse 3]

Standing by the grey ice water

Out in the wind above ground out in the water

You had yourself a crazy lover

Become unfrozen trying hard to forget her

[Chorus]

You got a job up in Alaska

To save what the cannery pays

There ain't no way to spend it

On the Arctic blast
