Amnicon Falls

Way on up in the north country fair
The one you may know from the song
We made love on a starry night
How quickly that moment was gone 

On a covered wooden bridge
Built more than a century ago
Our gaze kindled into a burning flame
Oh but how could I know

That the fire would consume our teenage souls
And all the land for miles around
Now I'm writing songs in the state pen
While she's six feet underground
