lyrics

______________________________________________
Cape Breton Night

On a Cape Breton night, the summer just right
The sun finds its home and you aint alone
So she asks where to go, you say you don’t know
That whatever we do, I’m good here with you

Chorus  I’ve been to the cities
I’ve worked till I bled
My knuckles are callused
I got scars on my head
But it don’t mean nothing
‘Cause I get to be here
Right now’s the reason
I’ve been gone for the year

So don’t let me go, I wanna hear all you know
I wanna watch the sunrise, and remember this time
I wanna be sick tomorrow, I wanna sleep through the day
I wanna fight off the black flies that go for your legs

Chorus

+ But I’m here right now

I wanna be sick tomorrow, I wanna sleep through the day
I wanna fight off the black flies that go for your legs
