máiréad nesbitt - the ballad of the perfect storm lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
with the way of new england, the pride of a town
set sail on a grey afternoon
from a harbour in gloucester, the andrea gail
would see the dark side of the moon
and, so, they arrived, the ship and her men
not knowin’ of others’ forewarning
to carry tradition, that they’d come to know
through tales of adventure and mourning

[chorus]
the hearts and the souls that would never grow old
thought of all those they loved, and were waiting
of fathers and sons, and daughters and wives
of evermores, antic+p+ting
and pеrfection, you know, they usually found
in the arms of thе safe and warm
but that october night had turned it around
in the rage of the perfect storm

[verse 2]
hurricane grace and canadian cold
collided off sable isle
the storm of the century was suddenly there
leavin’ no room for denial
and the rush o’ the wind and the pound o’ the wave
never had anyone seen
a hundred+foot swells formed a watery grave
coverin’ their cries in between
[chorus]
and the hearts and the souls that would never grow old
thought of all those they loved, and were waiting
of fathers and sons, daughters and wives
of evermores, antic+p+ting
and perfection, you know, they usually found
in the arms of the safe and warm
but that october night had turned it around
in the rage of the perfect storm

[verse 3]
bobby shatford and bugsy moran
sully, murph and pierre
part o’ the crew, with captain tyne, too
were on board the andrea gail
they clung to a lifeline of desperate hope
but fading dreams of tomorrow
as the loved ones ashore clung to lifelines o’ prayer
got stung by the sharp knife of sorrow

[outro]
and perfection, you know, they usually found
in the arms of the safe and warm
but that october night had turned it around
in the rage of the perfect storm
but that october night had turned it around
in the rage of the perfect—
in the rage of the perfect—
in the rage of the perfect storm
