Music and lyrics: Phil Bowen Mixing and production: Phil Bowen Vocals/ backing vocals: Phil Bowen Guitars: Phil Bowen Keyboards: Phil Bowen Lyrics: Verse 1 I look across Long Island in the setting sun Shadows seem to dance around everyone I look back at the ocean there’s nothing but sea And wonder if this is reality Verse 2 I walk to the station catch the Stonington line Lay back my head. It’s like a mountain I climbed One more day and I’ll soon be there Providence calls to my evening prayer Chorus That’s the way I got from there to here It seems to roll into another year A little laughter, a few more tears That’s the way I got from there to here. Verse 3 So the train moves on and time moves on I’m sitting here thinking that I belong To this new world of hope, opportunity No more locks on doors, no master key Verse 4 The moon shines down across a canopy of trees On a warm summer night well I feel so at ease One more day and I’ll soon be there Providence calls to my evening prayer.
