To SuperiorSings:Gordon,in the song,is comparing lake Superior to a woman,making the word Superior a female name. In this case the lake itself. The ice water mansion is also the lake from the surface to the very bottom depth,so "Superior" (she) is singing deep from under the water. The waves,the wind,the life existing beneath etc. 
Hope that makes sense to you. Later! 
THere was a paperback novel dedicated to Gord that is titled, "Icewater Mansions" by Doug Allyn. It is a mystery novel set around and in the Great Lakes, and about the divers who explored shipwrecks. At one point in the book, a diver feels trapped inside the ruins of a sunken ship and feels like there are ghosts inside the ice water mansion. That's what it has always meant to me, the shipwrecks under the surface with water singing through the rooms instead of the wind.
That one line was the only reference to the song although the book was dedicated to Gord.
