letra de all for a song - alan doyle

[verse 1]
we said our goodbyes
under an argenteous sky
old newfoundland on your backs
there’s no more beds on the ferry
so we drank ourselves merry
and sailed off to find halifax

[verse 2]
we were told there’d be treasures
and measures of gold
and beauties to crash by our sides
but what we found that first visit
in an old honda civic
was so much more than just a joyride

[chorus]
it wasn’t for wine or for whisky we fell
it wasn’t for love though the lovers did help
the reason wе gave for sailing away so long
on this wreck of a ship we’vе been on
you and me
we did it all for a song

[verse 3]
then we all got lost
by the time we hit boston
we didn’t know which way to turn
the baron was bent
and the whistles were dented
and singing was starting to burn
[verse 4]
but we took a chance
that we could keep em dancing
because lukey was making them clap
we were dying to know
just how far we could go
and life was worth living for that

[chorus]
it wasn’t for wine or for whisky we fell
it wasn’t for love though the lovers did help
the reason we gave for sailing away so long
on this wreck of a ship we’ve been on
you and me
we did it all for a song

[post-chorus]
we would see
with the walls closing in
and a thousand miles left ’til grand falls
and we cursed in the verse
and swore the only thing worse than this ride
would be no ride at all

[insrumental break]
it wasn’t for wine or for whisky we fell
not fame, acclaim, and not for ticket sales
not for roses and thistles or ladies and gents
and not for the youth or the money we spent
it wasn’t wanderl-st or a ramblin’ fever
of cruising in twos down the cold boise river
not beer by the bucket or rum by the barrel
and not even the cover of the newfoundland herald
reason we gave for sailing away so long
on this wreck of a ship we’ve been on
you and me
we did it all for a song

[instrumental outro]
