Providence Lyrics

Where were you when my dreams came true And my ship finally came in I was flying head in the clouds And you were back in Providence I crawled out of my ark of doubt Stepped up to claim my prize A fingerprint in the mantelpiece paint A letter of just three lines I played hard I played hard to get And hard to understand And every night was a fight to the death And every day was planned Where were you when I finally knew The truth that you'd always known No matter how far you travel away You always end up home Where was this place where I finally fell to grace And found you'd faded out Now all the rain that's fallen on me The sun that's worn me down But I'm still walking in this same old pair of shoes I'm walking on the same ground Oh yes I know nobody chooses anybody And no one means to lie But when the weather changes you turn into strangers Learning how to say goodbye I'm writing from this town where I let you down once too often But I'm thinking of that other lucky place
