lyrics

The snow lay up against the curb
Finally beaten by the sun
Across the street the noon whistle blows
Calling back everyone

They came out from the luncheonettes
Taverns and pharmacies
Crossed the wet street back to work
Coats unbuttoned, talking easily

Ice is cracked on the river
Rolling out to the bay
On one floe rides a bobhouse
There's always one who stays out too long they say

And there ain't much to millwork
The days just go on and on
And there ain't much to leavin' home
Till you finally cut the cord and know that you're gone

And there ain't much to ice fishing
Till you're gone a day or more
And the hole you've cut freezes over
And it's like you've never been there before
