Lyrics
Mary caught the last plane out to see her dad
She said the angels must have smiled
'Cause when she got the call saying
"Come home quick
Come home now,"
She had right amount of frequent flyer miles
She got into Rhode Island after midnight
Caught a taxi
Hit all the stoplights,
Never had to wait
And when he died
She was right nearby
In the elevator
A hundred yards away
Here in Providence
Where birds fly into window panes
In Providence
And all the Neo-Nazis' lawns get rain
As fog rolls in off Narragansett Bay
With each new day
Theo's lived down in the projects all his life
He knows it's part of some great plan
The cops get rough some nights
And jobs are scarce
But it's all right
Not like his parents' days of hiding from the Clan
He goes to church on Sunday
Sings out loud and hopes that someday
All our progress finally pulls us through
Then he goes home
All alone
To watch the millions dying on the news
Here in Providence
Where birds fly into window panes
In providence
And all the Neo-Nazi's lawns get rain
As fog rolls in off Narragansett Bay
And still we stay
Harry walked out on his family late one night
With a bottle and a gun
He stumbled down there by the shipyards in the dark
Cursing all the dreams that came undone
He almost tripped over this woman lying there
Beat up so bad it made him wince
But they got to a taxi and the hospital somehow
Then he went back home and he's been there ever since
Here in Providence
Where sometimes comfort comes for pain
In Providence
And flowers grow through concrete plains
As fog rolls in off Narragansett Bay
And still we pray
