Boston

For the wolves we fought when a child was brave

Days on a Southern strand

Where we’d all pretend to be touring

And I’d wait all night for the smile you’d saved

Or how the wind would howl

Better head back now

It’s a warning

We were swimming out so far this time

The sun and your eyes were the only fire

Pretty intimate so far so I

Lit a holy fire

So we all gather our ghosts around the island flames

Oh and the song she throws is not one I know

But it knew me

For an age long lost in time, erased

Days when they called our names

Stories tucked away, you tell it to me

We were swimming out so far this time

The sun and your eyes were the only fire

Pretty intimate so far so I

Lit a holy fire

Take me back to places I feel loved in

Maybe failing that, take me to Boston

Strange that I’m not seeing you as often

Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in

What if all the costs are even

We were swimming out so far this time

(Take me to Boston, Boston)

The sun and your eyes were the only fire

(Take me back to places I feel loved in, loved in)

Pretty intimate so far so I

(Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in, lost in)

Eyes of e-e, holy fire
