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 |
|
And I'm leaving more behind than I care to talk about |
|
Just more pain than this hard a man can use |
|
As this big world's always spinning |
|
Now that I've thought I was winning |
|
I never thought, I never thought I'd lose |
|
This great force, it takes me to the ferry |
|
To cross wind and water, so untamed |
|
And I'm on that ship, my life just seems so very |
|
Small in comparison to everything around |
|
But there's this girl over there, she's got mahogany hair |
|
And her eyes of sweet amethyst |
|
I bow as she curtseys, doesn't look like she's gonna hurt me |
|
So I decide to add her to my list and she says, and she says |
|
Won't you stay on the vineyard for the summer? |
|
Won't you stay on the vineyard for the year? |
|
We'll find a little house down there in Oak Bluffs |
|
And our children is all that we hear |
|
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 pack up and I'm enveloped by the mist |
|
That girl over there, she's got mahogany hair |
|
And her eyes of sweet amethyst |
|
I think that maybe it would be better |
|
If I just wrote her a letter |
|
But instead she grabs me and we kiss |
|
And she says, "You ain't going nowhere" |
|
Stay on the vineyard for the summer |
|
Won't you stay on the vineyard for the year |
|
We'll find a little house down there in Oak Bluffs |
|
And our children is all that we'll hear |
|
Stay on the vineyard for the summer |
|
Won't you stay on the vineyard for the year |
|

|

She says |
