Lyrics for Grey Ice Water

You're standing by the grey ice water Out in the wind, above the ground, out in the weather You had yourself a crazy lover Becoming frozen, trying hard to forget her You got a job up in Alaska It's easy to save what the cannery pays 'Cause there ain't nowhere to spend it You're standing by the grey ice water Out in the wind, above the ground, out in the weather You had yourself a crazy lover Becoming frozen, trying hard to forget her You took the path of least resistance On the phone cutting out talking Short to long distance At home on a boat, at home it's a fish trap At home on a boat, it's a fish trap At home on a boat, it's a fish trap On the arctic glass
