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
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
