in june we're washing in the water
we are walking to the sand
In the summer of a hard year
you are swinging both our hands
in rhode island, rhode island

now we will go, gleaming into tomorrow
I am leaning, leaning into tomorrow
from rhode island, cradled on the waves

I don't want to tell you sad news
I don't want to let you down
we drive away, we don't know
what is going to happen now
from rhode island, rhode island

now we will go, gleaming into tomorrow
I am leaning, leaning into tomorrow
from rhode island, cradled on the waves
