lyrics

rainbow lake what are you hiding
is it gold or diamonds that they're mining
or a loneliness
better suited to the cold
your daddy's a pipeline operator
think you'll follow him sooner or later
but you never been
too good at doing what you're told

when the ice melts
we'll start it all over
we'll take all our sorrows and drown them so deep in the water

rainbow lake what are you drinking
glacier water or too much time thinking
about the things you never got to say
when I close my eyes all that's remaining
of the words you always were saying
goodbyes you left
before you went away

when the ice melts
they'll drag up the bottom
just one more step on your way
to being forgotten

you were hiding in the winter hours
you were scaling that transmission tower
now they're crying and they're buying flowers
you took for yours what we decided ours

when the ice melts
i'll start it all over
i'm heading south
away from this winter
this winter forever
