Providence Lyrics - Marc Cohn

I talk to you in turbulence 

That's when I see the light 

But she has visions on the hillside 

Then she speaks in tongues all night 

You've got such a faithful little servant 

Why don't you pay her no mind? 

She prays for providence 

She needs a little more of your attention 

She waits for providence 

Just a little intervention 

She was driving out on Highway 1 

She felt the presence of something strange 

She could not tell if it was alien 

She only knew her life would change 

If you were sending down a message 

Why do you hang her on a line? 

She prays for providence 

I don't know why you cannot hear her 

She waits for providence 

Are you just waiting to be near her? 

Are you thinking something 

And not letting on? 

Will she understand what you planned 

Before she's gone? 

She prays for providence 

She needs a little more of your attention 

She waits for providence 

Just a little intervention 

She waits, she waits for providence 

I don't know why you cannot hear her 

She prays, prays for providence 

Just a little
