Lyrics

Where were you when my dreams came true
When 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
The fingerprint in the mantelpiece plate
A letter of just three lies
Oh I played hard, I played hard to get
And hard to understand
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 felt at ease
And found you'd faded out
Where were you when my dreams came true
When my ship finally came in
I was flying head in the clouds
And you were back in Providence
All the rain that's falling on me
The sun that's worn me down
And I'm still walking in this same old pair of shoes
I'm walking on the same ground
Oh yes I know that no one chooses anybody
And no one means to lie
But when the weather changes you turn into strangers
Learning how to say goodbye
I'm running from this town where I let you down once too often
But I'm thinking of that other lucky place
Where were you when my dreams came true
When my ship finally came in
I was flying head in the clouds
And you were back in Providence
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
I was flying head in the clouds
And you were back in Providence
