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 surprised 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
