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



Now 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

All that I thought I was winning

I never thought, I never thought I'd lose

And this great force it takes me to the ferry

To cross wind and water so untamed

And while on that ship my life just seems so very

Small in comparison to everything around



There’s a girl over there she’s got mahogany hair

And eyes of sweet amethyst

I bow as she curtseys

She doesn’t look like she’s gonna hurt me

So I decide to add her to my list

And she says

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



I 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 me

I pack up and am enveloped by the mist



But that girl over there has mahogany hair

And her eyes of sweet amethyst

I think maybe it would be better

If I just wrote her a letter

But instead she grabs me and we kiss

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'll hear



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'll hear



And she says
