Cape Spear

Intro: Me and Margaret grew up on the Southside Our house was two doors down Across the bay, the city lay a stone's throw away Though we weren't wanted over there in town ~ When the summer turned, we'd hike the dusty highway Out to where the sun would split the rocks, I swear Stand with our backs to the ocean spray Playing dangerous games of courage or dare Cape Spear, Cape Spear These would be moments we would savour Cape Spear, at Cape Spear Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water Standing here, I still recall the morning We awoke, Margaret was gone She hadn't run away, she wasn't taken by a wave, no, no, no It's not that kind of song ~ There's enough of sad stories passed on down Where old men weep and fishers' widows wail But Margaret and her maiden aunt only went to town Tides turn, the world turns 'round Cape Spear, at Cape Spear Still I ply the dusty highway, year on year Out to Cape Spear, out to Cape Spear Time is but a face upon the water Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water These eyes hardly recognize the Southside Margaret's house is gone, so is mine From where I'd watch the city glow, there's a seafood bistro And Margaret's house is a school of hair design I say let the winds rush, let the waves wash away One's bound to get ya one fine day For we are all only dreaming, I swear Playing dangerous games of courage or dare Playing at Cape Spear, at Cape Spear These would be moments we would savour Cape Spear, Cape Spear We plied the dusty highway year on year Out to Cape Spear, to Cape Spear Time is but a face upon the water Time is but a face upon the wa-wa-wa-water
