Gordon Lightfoot - Shellfish (Live) Lyrics






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.
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.

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.
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, about a thousand miles or so.

Even if you're sure, before you begin to smile, let it happen on it's own like a 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.
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, it's so easy to be, shellfish in the sea.

    I livd on Cape Cod an Nantuckit Scallopes made me Sick. Allways loved this. Use to dive for em. Watch em swim away. No matter id find Crab a Lobster on the way. An some big ass Clams for the Fire we had on on the Beach. From Duxbury to Hyannis.

    Hey man, great to see you posting all these great tunes.

    Can I request you make a video edit of Lightfoot's new single "Plans of My Own"? He recently released it on iTunes, it's a lost demo from the "Harmony" sessions in 2001. My father would especially enjoy it.

    There are a couple live versions out there, but I myself love the original.

    Thanks man, all the best!

    What makes this song so good is that each time you listen to is you want to listen to it again. I got to see him do it live twice in 01 and in July 02. Each time was a very special moment. Thank-you for sharing it.

    Maybe the prettiest song he's written since his aneurysm. My only knock is the shellfish line--seems like a tangent.
