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
