[Verse 1]

Pink hydrangeas in the rain

Island shoreline makes Providence mundane

Greener grasses, salty air

Mainland worriers relax without a care


[Chorus]

Parents having fun, 1991, drunkenly she done a karaoke tune

That was long ago, not forgotten though, breezy bungalows and mazes made of dunes

And after 20 years have happened here we’re willingly marooned


[Verse 2]

Bicycles on cobbled roads

Crescent beaches meet and form a rocky node

Narrow houses, withered sides

Framing windows keeping watch over the tides


[Chorus]

Parents having fun, 1991, drunkenly she done a karaoke tune

That was long ago, not forgotten though, breezy bungalows and mazes made of dunes

And after 20 years have happened here we’re willingly marooned


[Bridge]

Warm and windy, Jim and Cindy, friends from college too

Beating softly, sun is awfully nice in interludes

Warm and windy, Jim and Cindy, friends from college too

Beating softly, sun is awfully nice in interludes
