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
