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
