Shellfish Lyrics

Gordon Lightfoot Shellfish Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:
VRS 1:
Even if you're sure before you begin to cry
Never rest until you find what is best to be forgot
Let it float off in the night beneath the moon
So brightly shining down on the steeples of the town
HORUS:
You must not be downhearted over things you left undone
You got faith, to tell you all is well
And you know you'd best not stop
There's still a ways to go
VRS 2:
Even if you're sure, before you begin to sigh
Let me show my way is best, on the wayward side tonight
Let a planet be your guide above the fields
Beside the sleeping town, when the work is all shut down
HORUS:
You will not be outsmarted by that song you left unsung
You got faith, to make your world take flight
There is still a ways to go
'Bout a thousand miles or so
VRS 3:
Even if you're sure before you begin to smile
Let it happen on its own, like the shellfish in the sea
I'm as selfish as can be, when it comes down to me
And all of my kin, all they want to do is win
HORUS:
You will not be deserted by old friends you left alone
You got faith to make you meet the cost
And you know you'd best not wait
He who hesitates is lost
So even if you're sure
INSTRUMNTL:
OUTRO:
It's so easy to be shellfish in the sea
