She comes from Boston, works at the jewelry store   Down in the harbor, where the ferries come to shore   She never really knew how good it would feel   To finally find herself in a place so warm and real      She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads   The girl she was in New England is different now and dead   In all the local bars she flirts and tells the boys   While they're talkin', she's from Boston      She comes from Boston talks to her family now and then   Through e-mails through postcards she tries to explain to them   That education and occupation will have to wait for now   She loves the Rasta reggae rhythms her dreams have changed somehow      She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads   The girl she was in New England is different now and dead   In all the local bars she flirts and tells the boys   While they're talkin', she's from Boston      Her toes dig deep   And deeper in the sand   She's seduced by the sunsets   And her new life at hand      She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads   The girl she was in New England is different now and dead   In all the local bars she flirts and tells the boys   While they're talkin', she's from Boston      She wears a Red Sox cap   To hide her baby dreads   From Boston   She came to this island from Boston
