I was thinking of home as the bus pulled away
|
Take me to the Cape and you knowing what I had to do
|
And the sun it beat down all along the highway
|
As I thought about the day when I told you I would stay
|
I was trying just to find the words to tell you
|
That I had to go and leave it all behind
|
I had to go back to the land where I had come from
|
I'd lost what I came to find had to leave it all behind
|
And the lights of old Boston still shine on you now
|
Where you'll be what they want you to be
|
Yeah the lights of old Boston still shine on you now
|
And you know in your heart in your heart you must be free
|
Goodbye my girl don't you know I hate to leave you
|
Goodbye my girl and I hate to see you cry
|
Goodbye my girl don't you know I hate to leave you
|
But it's better this way to say goodbye
|
You were smiling when you met me at the station
|
And I wondered if you'd cry when I told you I would die
|
If I had to stay one more week in this nation
|
It's the land of the free but not where I want to be
|
And you asked me if I loved you more than Ireland
|
And to tell the truth the answer it was no
|
Cause I just knew that I could never make this my land
|
In the home of the brave I would only find a grave
|
As I got aboard the plane my heart was breaking
|
As I left you there in pain with no words that could explain
|
Why I had to make to make the journey I was making
|
Had to leave you alone but then how could you have known
|
All the things I was feeling deep inside me
|
As I sat there I wondered how
|
I could love a country more than I could love you
|
As the plane took off and flew I just knew that it was true
|
