Young Wesley sailed from Fortune Bay to fish the waters round the Cape And soon he gave his heart away To a pretty Cape Shore Lady.

They courted through the summer time Through fog and rain and nights so fine "Oh come with me and you'll be mine" He begged the Cape Shore Lady.

Can't offer wealth, can't offer gold but all the love her heart can hold Yes all the love her heart can hold Goes to The Cape Shore Lady.

You've won my heart, I love you dear I'll marry you within the year But I'll not move 10 miles from here 'Cause I'm a Cape Shore Lady

They settled down in old St. Bride's Two young lovers side by side And soon the twins they did arrive For Wesley and his lady.

The children of this happy home Fair young ladies did become They married well and never roamed For they were Cape Shore ladies

So if you've travelled o're the main From Twillingate to Port of Spain Across the sea and back again To find the perfect lady just sail away past Signal Hill The Southern Shore, beyond Cape Freels Then listen for the Irish heels The dancing Cape Shore Ladies

From Point Lance, Custlett, Patrick's Cove A gift that's far more rare than gold True sweet love that is bestowed By faithful Cape Shore Ladies

Can't offer wealth, can't offer gold But all the love your heart can hold Oh all the love your heart can hold Comes from the Cape Shore Ladies.

Atlantic Blue
Ron Hynes

What colour is a heartache from a love lost at sea What Shade of memory never fades but lingers to eternity How dark is the light of day that sleepless eyes of mine survey Is that you Atlantic Blue? My heart is as cold as you

How is one heart chosen to never lie at peace How many moments remain is there not oneof sweet release And who's the stranger at my door to haunt my dreams forever more Is that you Atlantic Blue? My heart is as cold as you. as you

I lie awake in the morning as the waves wash on the sand I hold my hurt at bay I hold the lives of his children in my hands And who's Plea will receive no answer who's cry is lost upon the wind Who's the voice so familiar whispers my name as the night comes in And who's wish never fails to to find my vacant heart at valentines Is that you Atlantic Blue? My heart is as cold My heart is as cold My heart is as cold as you.

Here I am just a hopeful heart One of oh so many With coin in hand at this old wishing well And I'm not sure if I believe in making wishes But something has me saying, only time will tell So I wish I was a breeze in summer I'd wrap around you I'd dance in your hair And if for a moment you should chance to breathe me I'd carry your voice till it filled the air.

Lately skies have me thinking about you On open roads I hear your voice, I have to turn 'cause Not one face or story not one single song of glory Has ever won back my heart from you.

I would I were a splinter of moonlight I'd come so softly, to fall on your bed And I would bring you a map of dreamland And I'd stay all night to watch o're your head.

And if in dreams I was a ship in the water I would be sturdy, I would be sound And I'd sail over any sea or ocean To the harbour of your love where I would lay my anchor down.

Lately skies have me thinking about you On open roads I hear your voice, I have to turn 'cause Not one face or story not one single song of glory Has ever won back my heart from you.

To tell the truth no face or story Not one single song of glory has ever won back has ever won back has ever won back my heart from you.

As the band plays tonight and we hold each other tight and I hold you so close to my heart When I look into your eyes I see the blue summer skies as we dance to the Newfoundland Waltz

So hold me my doll And fill me with your charms Kiss me my love, hold me in your arms And say that you'll love me and that we'll never part As we dance to the Newfoundland Waltz

Then the band softly played And sweet motions she made In the presence of my pleasant thoughts In such want for holding hands When our hearts met their demands

Yes I remember that chance when I asked you to dance Now I know there were no second thoughts It was love at first sight when I held you that night And we danced to the Newfoundland Waltz And we danced to the Newfoundland Waltz
