[Verse One]

Standing on the dock at St. Joseph
Look out to the lake's horizon
You tell me that you never been here before
I see your awe as you look at the ice
"How is it reaching the top of the lighthouse?!"
I hear you exclaim, pointing a finger upward
To where the light would be shining

[Chorus]

If this lighthouse could talk
It would describe horrible things
The frigid seasons keep coming
And the icy waves keep crashing
Crystalline formations
Snuffing out its light

[Verse Two]

You haven't been here before
You don't know what to expect
Thе lake has frozen over
And has claimеd St. Joseph yet again
This is the cycle that repeat
Every year and again
Trapped in a prison of ice
For months on end
[Chorus]

If this lighthouse could talk
It would describe horrible things
The frigid seasons keep coming
And the icy waves keep crashing
Crystalline formations
Snuffing out its light

[Outro]

"We should head back," you said
It's time to head back
