"Chapel Of Our Lady Of The Snows" lyrics

Near Duluth, or just above
Stands the falling Chapel of
Our Lady of the Snowy Northern Plain

I walked beside it as a child
With boarded windows, grasses wild
The stories and the ghosts are what remain

They say the pastor killed his wife
And tried to run to Yellowknife
But they found him dead and buried 'neath the landing

This was long before my time
My father's and his father's prime
The chapel and the case are both still standing

As a kid it terrified me greatly
The angels I could hear them play the harp
As a man I wonder of it lately
If the edge of town is still as sharp

My father built it brick by brick
But we sold the house when he got sick
And Lake Superior it overfroze

Maybe someday when I die
My spirit will be trapped inside
The Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows

As a kid it terrified me greatly
The angels I could hear them play the harp
As a man I wonder of it lately
If the edge of town is still as sharp

Sharp
Sharp
Sharp as the Edge of Town

Sharp
Sharp
Sharp as the Edge of Town
