On the shore at dusk, a down-on-one-knee request
    To spend forever side-by-side
  I swore that night, I'd always put you first
    You hid your doubts behind a smile

  A northern lake it listens
    And floats our worries away
  A northern lake remembers
    Our love

  On the shore at dawn, with your belly eight months on
    I was busy arguing on the line
  I swore that day, that I'd put both of you first
    He kicked hard when he heard my lie

  A northern lake seeks no judgement
    We were innocent on its shore
  A northern lake remembers
    Our love

  A northern lake it listens
    And floats our worries away
  A northern lake remembers
    Our love

  On the shore at dark, alone and I whisper
    To the heavens for you to hear
  I swear on this night, I'll get back in his life
    Cause I've wasted too many years

  A northern lake is my judgement
    No innocence on its shores
  A northern lake will remember
    Our love

  A northern lake it listens
    And floats my worries away
  A northern lake remembers
    Our love
