Ani Difranco - Providence Lyrics
Who knewAt this party that iWould walk in and Id see you.I guess nowWe could just get drunkYeah, that could be our excuseYou could slipFrom out of nowhereI could be there to catch your fallWe could laughAt ourselvesAnd the writing thats on the wallIts a narrow marginJust room enough for regretIn the inch and a half betweenHey, how ya been?AndCan I kiss you yet?So we talk, likeNervous neighbors over a tall fenceTrue love, but for the lack of providenceBut I just got one moreThing to tell youcuz words are vitaminsAnd life is shortAnd I know when we get upTo the front officeWere gonna have to fill outA full reportAnd the first question will beWhat were you thinking?And the next question will beWhat did you say?Then theyre gonna check to seeIf the answers to one and twoMatched up muchAlong the wayIn the interest of poetryAnd the cowboy movieThats you and meIm back on the horse nowAnd I am ridingI am striding so effortlesslyWhat I mean isIts lateMuch to late for usAnd Im fixing to go homeWith just my consciousAnd a bitter sense of ironyAs my chaperoneTrue love, but for the lack of providence.
