Lyrics
PEGGY'S COVE
IT WAS THE LIGHT
FROM THE SHIMMERING MOON
THAT LIT UP THE RIG
AND SAID YOUR COMING HOME SOON
THE STARS DANCED AWAY
AND ENTERTAINED THE NIGHT SKY
I STOOD THERE AND WATCHED
AND I STARTED I STARTED TO CRY
CHORUS:
IT'S BEEN ALONG TIME
SINCE IV'E BEEN HOME
BLUEBERRY PIE
CHRISTMAS IN PEGGY'S COVE
A DRINK BY THE FIRE
DAD'S STORIES OF THE WAR
THESE ARE THE MEMORIES
OF LAST I WAS HOME
I WORK ON THE RIGS
PUMPING OIL IS MY LIFE
A GENERATION RIGGER
BUT IT WASN'T BY CHOICE
I PUMP OIL BY DAY
I PUMP OIL BY NIGHT
IN THE MIGHTY ATLANTIC
I'LL SPEND THE LAST DAY'S OF MY LIFE
BRIDGE:
DEVIL'S LIQUID
Its THIRST IS IN MY VEINS
LIKE MY FATHER BOFORE
A SLOW DEATH WITH LITTLE PAIN
AS I TASTE THE DARD BLOOD
AS IT WEEPS IN MY MOUTH
IT WON'T BE LONG UNTIL I'M HOME
MADE LOVE TO A CHILDLESS WOMB
TO KEEP THE WOLF FROM THE DOOR
OIL TOOK MY BODY
BUT IT WON"T GET MY SOUL
OH MY SWEET FAMILY
I'M COMING HOME SOON
GUIDED BY THE LIGHT
FROM THE SHIMMERING THE SHIMMERING MOON
