I went back to Boston
|
Back to the City of Lost Love
|
I went back to the place
|
And recognized your face in the stone long gone
|
|
I walked around Harvard Square
|
All the runaway kids are still hanging out there
|
I took the red line a wrong way
|
Across the River Charles
|
|
Something's changed track
|
And they never fly
|
And they never fly
|
Reach up from the waves
|
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
|
|
I went walking in Boston
|
A little bridge I used to walk on
|
I was slipping on a hog
|
And I flung into that sea of strong
|
Processing need not apply
|
For you to license to fly
|
Hey young lady don't be so suprised
|
You know you're not alone
|
|
Something's changed track
|
And they never fly
|
And they never fly
|
Reach up from the waves
|
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
|
|
It was Memorial Day
|
I went to where you lay
|
There were thousands of people
|
Just like you in a chain graveyard
|
|
You came out of there awake
|
Looking for the sky
|
And got a slap in the face
|
Well hey
|
Desperate needs a big led
|
And gets put in the place
|
You better know your place boy
|
|
Something's changed track
|
And they never fly
|
And they never fly
|
Reach up from the waves
|
You'll find that you're only waving goodbye
|
|
Only waving
|
You're only waving
|
You're only waving
|
You're only waving goodbye
|
Goodbye
|
