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
