Can we get the ocean to freeze over?
Sandy banks of snow across the road
Keep the full moon high over your shoulder
But keep the puck low
We don't want to go looking for it

In the headlight's glow
We played til frozen
Until the battery ran low
Until the call of home came calling, calling
Across the air on the wires of wood smoke

Oh I miss you tonight in St Peter's Bay
And I'll miss you in the morning
Still we had a good skate, didn't we babe

I couldn't get the fire
Of my faith in us
Warm enough to comfort your cold feet
Every little crack in the ice
Seemed to be enough
To make you think you might go under

So stay to the shore
Wonder some more
Reconsider every direction
The ice out here's black
Only thing looking back
Is my own reflection

Oh I miss you tonight in St Peter's Bay
And I'll miss you in the morning
Still we had a good skate, didn't we babe

Tides will shift
And ice will lift
And creeks will run again with their thundering
And no more I'll be an island
An island adrift
In an ocean of endless wondering

Oh I miss you tonight in St Peter's Bay
And I'll miss you in the morning
Still we had a good skate, didn't we babe
