Vineyard

It's six o'clock now in the morning

As I wait for my train to come

To take me somewhere just outside of Boston

As I run to find the other sun

I'm leaving more behind than I care to talk about

Just more pain than this heart and hands can use

As this big world's always spinning

All that I thought I was winning

I never thought I'd lose

This great force it takes me to the ferry

To cross wind and water so untame

I'm on that ship my life just seems so very small

In comparison to everything around

But there's a girl over there, she's got mahogany hair

And her eyes of sweet amethyst

I bow as she curtsies

It doesn't look like she's going to hurt me

So I decide to add her to my list

And she said

Stay on the Vineyard for the summer

Stay on the Vineyard for the year

We'll find a little youse down there in Oak Bluffs

And our children is all that we'll hear

It seems now that I should be going

As that one day turned into five or six

Although I'm loving all the beautiful things she's

Showing, I back up and I'm enveloped by the mist

I think that maybe it would be better

If I just wrote her a letter

But instead she grabs me and we kiss
