Patty Griffin Boston Lyrics:
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
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 suprised
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
Lyrics: Boston, Patty Griffin [end]
