The first day of winter, three days before Christmas
We were headed to Boston on some kind of business
The gale blew up and the ship came unstuck
It was clear we were clean out of luck

Bold Captain Robert, he tried hard to save us
And he might have made it, but waves, they betrayed us
He did what he had to do, held on the whole night
But finally gave up his life
Now Richard's exposed and my toes and my nose are froze
I don't suppose that he'll still be proposing
I can't even feel the cold anymore
I'm just starting now to think twice
I'm Lydia, frozen in ice

Under the lighthouse, dashed up on the rocks
Wrapped tight in a blanket, turned stiffer than stocks
The keeper was brave and I prayed he forgave me
We may never hear our last rights
The captain was gone, a peculiar phenomenon
Dawned on the neighbours and dogs in the snow
As they hitched up the sleigh and they took us away
Perhaps to our last paradise
Oh, Lydia's frozen in ice

Some say he still walks on the shore in the glint of the Owl's Head light
On the first day of winter

Our hearts were soon melted, they called it a miracle
Survival, a mystery, new love, a thrill
"What is all this?" is the first thing he said to me
Hard to believe all the time he would spend with me
Two hundred years on and they'll still tell the story
But everything comes with a price

When Lydia's frozen in ice
Lydia's frozen, forever she is frozen
Oh, Lydia's frozen in time, she is frozen
Lydia's frozen in ice
Lydia's frozen in time, she is frozen
Oh, Lydia's frozen in ice
