Canadian cold
Canadian cheer
I couldn′t spend another winter up hereIn 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
