Shellfish

Today   I’m blogging about something different. 
Here are the words to a song by Gordon Lightfoot, called Shellfish.  Had a rather profound effect on me
today.



Shellfish

Even   if you’re sure, before you begin to cry.
Never  rest until you find, what is best to be
forgot.

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, be
 side  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 ‘bout 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 alla my kin, all they wannta 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,
 
(Instrumental)
 
It’s  so easy to be, Shellfish in the sea.
