lyrics

harbourtown
written in 2011 by breagh mackinnon, gordie sampson, natalie lynn
performed by breagh mackinnon
produced by breagh mackinnon and mike shepherd, mixed by mike shepherd
from the album "where the days went" by breagh mackinnon (2011)

the sun don't always shine in a harbourtown
the lines between the seasons are a blur
the ocean knows your name and it calls you home
like a voice inside your head you've never heard

no one keeps a secret in a harbourtown
you never know what trouble you may find
i might just fall in love in this harbourtown i hear that it happens all the time

people stop and stare In a harbourtown
some boats come to shore and never stay
the waitress at the legion hasn't changed a bit
while everything else does these days

the fog is like a blanket in this harbourtown it don't keep me warm but it'll do
and i don't know what love is in this harbourtown
that's what 6 years in alberta does to you

i should have stayed i should have listened
i should have took what i was given, and just given in now the cards are on the table,
wondering if i have the heart to start over again
all over again

the sun don't always shine in a harbourtown some boats come to shore and never stay
i just might fall in love in this harbourtown and i wouldn't have it any other way

“Let's get the best young songwriters in Nova Scotia and take them to the most inspiring place we can think of (Ingonish) and see what happens. Four years and roughly 250 songs later, the idea now has a mind of its own. Maybe it’s the simple math of how blind faith multiplies." - Gordie Sampson ... more
