Ice Fishing Lyrics

You fed me where I was at my hungriest

On every example that you write

As the sun makes a black sky blue

The signature flirtation of moon darks the light

In an ice cabin you came to finish your book

The boys are coming home from ice fishing

The girls will warm em up

There's a light on in here

There's some whiskey in a cup

And we're alive today

Let that be enough

They wouldn't allow him to call his daughter

The ancient Arabic word for rain

From the parquet floors of the institute

The little darlings will make good in their beds again

They empty the shelter line soup upon the street

Stand up tall to the fighting man

Look him in the eye

Youths in love with the world again

Make love where the ministries used to lie

And you can ride with me

It's how it feels to be alive

Let it be enough

Let it be enough

Somewhere beyond the factory gates

Where they gave their lives away

Girls and boys are reading books

Being young is not enough today

And the pencil cranes they fill the sky

For the ice fisherman are coming home

To immeasurable acts of love

Light her curves read her lines

Everything else can be given up

But we're alive today

Let that be enough

Let that be enough

Let that be enough
