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´ve 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 can say I had a good time
And you can say I had class
And you can say that I was born beneath
A ceiling made of glass
But I always kept an open house
And yeah I always did right by my friends
And when I got to St Peter´s gate I told the people
I´m not the one who needs to make amends

´Cause better times are coming
Better times ahead
And no-one gets remembered, my deathless child
Don´t waste 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
