PATTY GRIFFIN lyrics : "Boston"

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
