Boston Rose |
Now the autumm leaves are falling and the tourists have all gone |
And the children they have all gone back to school |
And my life is as it was before |
I work eight hours a day but the company’s still making all the rules |
There’s a girl in Massachusetts south of Boston town she said |
And her lovely face is with me all the day |
But I met her down in old Tralee, golden hair upon her head |
Well I took her heart and she stole mine away |
(Chorus) |
Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston rose |
I’ll wait for you I’ll think of you no threat to you I’ll pose |
Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston rose |
I wish that you were here but I know thats the way life goes |
Theres a song we sang all summer in the bars in Dublin town |
I can here it on the factory radio |
And the feeling I remember when I here that simple tune |
Make me wonder if it really happened so For we laughed and loved together 'till the summer days were gone |
And she had to fly across the ocean wide |
(Repeat Chorus) |
And some nights when im drinking and my friends have gathered 'round |
And just for fun someone calls out your name |
Well I smile there with the rest of them but I can’t here a sound |
I love you but to them it’s all the same |
And nights when im alone my love you come into my mind |
And visions flash across the Emerald Isle |
Well I watch the moon there up above I’ll leave this earth behind |
And I’ll call to you as I go sailing by |
(Repeat Chorus) |
