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
 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
 Moved on, 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
