about

For my family who came from Moreton's Harbour, Newfoundland and built new lives all over Canada. We're coming home in song.

lyrics

Moreton’s Harbour
by Jennifer Louise Taylor (after Uncle Malcolm’s funeral and before Michael’s)

Part 1:
I remember looking into a strangers eyes G C G
And I remember looking at the faces passing by C D G

Refrain:
I’m searching for someone from Moreton’s Harbour C D G
I’m searching for a key to who I am C D G
It’s lobster tins to Marilyn to here C D G E
It’s lobster tins to Marilyn to here C D G

My uncle was in the navy D G
Long before his curls turned gray C G
He produced a pot to piss in D G
Just to prove his old man wrong C D
It’s lobster tins to Marilyn to here C D G E
From lobster tins, to Marilyn, to here C D G

The way the story always goes
He was brighter than the light
But he tuned in and he dropped out
And soon was out of sight
From lobster…

Refrain:

There’s a few, they smile at you
Here’s the lesson they hold dear
The road he chose the one’s we know
From which we should steer clear
From lobster…

There are those who say he was a man
As bright as he was kind
Who gave his heart to those around
He knew would rob him blind

Repeat part 1
