Artist/Band: Patty Griffin
Lyrics for Song: Boston
Lyrics for Album: Silver Bells [2000]



I went back to Boston

Back to the city you're lost in

I went back to the place without you, facing 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

And 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, stone



Boston said you need not apply

For your license to fly

Hey young lady don't be 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 that way

Looking for the sky

And 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

Goodbye
