Lyrics
[Verse 1]
October fourth, sixty-seven
Cold water on the shore
Men in the little harbor
Heard a sound like never before
Yellow light on the black bay
Falling low, then gone
Some said it hit the water
Then the night kept rolling on
[Pre-Chorus]
They ran with the lanterns
Down the rocks to see
Something in the dark tide
Too strange to believe
[Chorus]
Shag Harbour lights
What fell that night?
Shag Harbour lights
Pulled the whole town tight
Shag Harbour lights
In the breaking dawn
Shag Harbour lights
And the story lives on
(Shag Harbour lights)
[Verse 2]
Boats went out at first light
Coast Guard on the line
Divers read the water
Found no easy sign
Then the radio kept talking
Over county roads
A thing that moved like fire
Without a name to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Old men on the wharf
Swore it was real
Kids stared at the shoreline
Still feeling that chill
[Chorus]
Shag Harbour lights
What fell that night?
Shag Harbour lights
Pulled the whole town tight
Shag Harbour lights
In the breaking dawn
Shag Harbour lights
And the story lives on
(Shag Harbour lights)
[Bridge]
One splash, one glare
One hole in the dark
Ten watchful faces
And one wild mark
No one owned that fire
No one signed the sky
Just a harbor full of questions
And a hard-held why
[Final Chorus]
Shag Harbour lights
What fell that night?
Shag Harbour lights
Pulled the whole town tight
Shag Harbour lights
Under moonless shore
Shag Harbour lights
They still ask for more
Shag Harbour lights
What fell that night?
Shag Harbour lights
And they still shine bright
(Shag Harbour lights)
