Boston And St. John's Lyrics by Great Big Sea
Album : Turn
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Girl, don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn

CHORUS:
It's true I must be going but I swear I won't be long
There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. John's
I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover can you love me anyway?

And if some suitor comes approaching
Will you let him through your door
And what if I return half broken
Will you still want me anymore?

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Close your eyes and dream
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you want
Just tell me that you'll wait for me

Repeat 1
