Peggy came to me in my sleep
In the middle of the night
On a Friday night last week
She whispered "hush child, now don't be scared
I got me a few words of wisdom that I came back to share"
And she said:
"It doesn't matter where you come from
It matters where you go
No-one gets remembered
For the things they didn't do"
I said, "Peggy, won't you stay here for a while?
We can drink whisky, we can play cards and we can get wild"
She said, "We'll play poker and we'll play for keeps
I only played angels lately and they never let me cheat"
It doesn't matter where you come from
It matters where you go
No-one gets remembered in this listless life
For the things they didn't do
And you could say I had a good start
And you could say I had class
And you could say that I was born beneath
A ceiling made of glass.
But I always kept an open house
And I always did right by my friends
And when I got to St Peter's gate I told the keeper that
I'm not the one who needs to make amends
'Cause better times are coming
Better times ahead
No-one gets remembered, my deathless child
So don't rest too long in bed
And Peggy said
It doesn't matter where you come from
It matters where you go
No-one gets remembered, in this listless loveless life
For the things they didn't do
(no no no no no)
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off
While Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off
While Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off
While Peggy sang the blues,
Peggy sang the blues
