Provincetown Lyrics by 1969 Collective & Elliot Maginot

 

I took the ferry twice today
I don’t know why I didn’t stay
At least a little while longer
At least a little while?
Is he waving at the boat or just reaching for his smokes?
I swear, I’ll come clean tonight

I was back on the pier by noon
This time, he took me to his room
I thought about Mary back in Boston
Thought about the kids and lost it
Am I ever gonna make my peace with God?
Don’t let me stumble again

The sun is slowly setting
Maybe I’ll stay the night
I don’t know if I’m willing, to make this right

‘Cause I don’t wanna be alone again
I don’t wanna be less of a man
I will face him when the time has come
But for now, I just need to be done
With the sleepless nights and joyless days
Will you shine your lights and show the way?
‘Cause I won’t be going back this time

I lost my home and lost my family
Lost my job and lost my money
Mary told me not to call her
Yeah, Mary told me not to call
Until I can turn this thing around
I think I’ll stay here in Provincetown

The sun is slowly setting
Maybe I’ll stay tonight
I don’t know if I’m willing, to make this right

‘Cause I don’t wanna be alone again
I don’t wanna be less of a man
I will face him when the time has come
But for now, I just need to be done
With the sleepless nights and joyless days
Will you shine your lights and show the way?
‘Cause I won’t be coming back this time around
