Lyrics:
Holly far from home
First time on the road
Stops beside the lake
And walks out onto the snow

Just eighteen years old
First time away from home
Discommunicates
For the first time truly alone

Holly digs a hole
and kneels as though to pray
Reveals a shrouded phone
And buries it in the lake

Holly far from home
First time on the road
Drives beside the lake
For the first time in north Ontario
