Ice Fishing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The snow lay up against the curb Finally beaten by the sun Across the street the noon whistle blew Calling back everyone [Verse 2] And they came out from the luncheonette The tavern and the pharmacy Walked across the wet street back to work Their coats unbuttoned and talking easily [Verse 3] The ice is cracked down the river Rolling out to the bay On one floe rides a bob house Well, there's always one that stays out too long, they say [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] And thеre ain't much to mill work The days just drag on and on Therе ain't much to leaving home 'Til you finally cut the cord and know you're gone [Verse 5] And there ain't much to ice fishing Until you miss a day or more And the hole you've cut freezes over And it's like you have never been there before
