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
