Peggy's Song

[00:03.34]Ye promised me my Jackie
[00:08.02]On the day that we got married
[00:12.40]Ye'd build a boat of dreams for me someday
[00:19.07]
[00:19.87]A vague romantic notion
[00:23.73]That we'd sail off to some ocean
[00:27.97]But in my dreams we'd get there one fine day
[00:34.09]
[00:35.59]He hasn't been the same since the yard closed down
[00:39.66]Like all the other men in this broken town
[00:43.38]He'd end up by the river as his thoughts turned black
[00:47.25]I said, "Pull yourself together pet, and come home, Jack."
[00:55.32]
[00:55.92]Whenever we had sorrows
[01:00.50]We'd always say tomorrow
[01:05.33]We'd catch that ship of dreams and sail away
[01:12.67]
[01:13.94]What happened to my Jackie?
[01:17.70]That big bold man I married?
[01:21.83]It's hard to watch your fellow waste away
[01:28.42]
[01:29.61]He sits and stares at nothing
[01:33.55]That chair's an upright coffin
[01:37.30]The cat's got his tongue and there's nothing I can say
[01:44.63]
[01:45.23]He's never been the same since the yard got closed
[01:49.05]But he's dressed every morning in his working clothes
[01:52.93]Cuppa tea and a sandwich from his old rucksack
[01:57.04]But it never should've happened to a man like Jack
[02:04.73]
[02:05.01]If I came into money
[02:09.57]It'd be all for you, me honey
[02:14.48]And we'd build that ship of dreams and sail away
[02:23.23]
