Boston |
| I went back to Boston |
| Back to the city you were lost in |
| I went back to the place |
| Without your face in the stone |
| Walked around Harvard Square |
| The runaway kids are still hanging out there |
| And I took the red line |
| All the way across the River Charles |
| Some things try and try |
| But they never fly, and they never fly |
| You reach up from the waves |
| And find that you’re only waving goodbye |
| Went walking in Boston |
| Over a bridge I used to walk on |
| I was looking for my heart |
| That I’d flung into that sea of stone |
| Boston said, you need not apply |
| For your license to fly |
| Hey, young lady, don’t look so surprised |
| You know you’re not alone |
| Some things try and try |
| And they never fly, and they never fly |
| You reach up from the waves |
| And 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 giant graveyard |
| You came all of that way |
| Looking for the sky, you got a slap in the face |
| You had a desperate need to be loved |
| You just got put in that place |
| You better know your place, boy |
| Some things try and try |
| And they never fly, and they never fly |
| You reach up from the waves |
| And find that you’re only waving goodbye |
| Only waving |
| You’re only waving |
| You’re only waving |
| You’re only waving goodbye |
