Peggy's Cove

from Kintsugi by John Holden

/

lyrics

The waves come crashing in the deepest seas the loudest sound
A bitter, salty wind blows down from sweet Charlottetown
At the craggy southern point still a lighthouse watches out
Humble prayers in Halifax are offered up by the devout

Seabright Way
Prospect Bay
Peggy’s Cove

Once a ship was stranded here abandon hope they soon proclaimed
None survived except for one a child too young to know her name
Adopted by the local folk she won their hearts and they rejoiced
They called the lassie Margaret now she was “Peggy of the Point”

Boats and whales
Folklore tales
Peggy’s Cove

Love comes calling
Seabirds soaring

Peggy wed and left the isle that is how her story ends
Don’t look hard for evidence nor how far the truth extends
Enquiring minds, observant eyes will see right through the merchandise
Mugs and books and figurines nothing ever as it seems

Lobster rolls
Legends told
Peggy’s Cove
