Boston Rose

Now the autumn leaves are falling and the tourists have all gone
 And the children, they have all gone back to school
 And my life is as it was before
 I work eight hours a day, but the company's still making all the rules
 But there's a girl in Massachusetts south of Boston town she said
 And her lovely face is with me all the day
 Sure I met her down in old Tralee, golden hair upon her head
 And I took her heart and she stole mine away
 Goodbye my Boston beauty, farewell my Boston rose
 I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you, I'll pose
 Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston rose
 I wish that you were here, but I know that's the way life goes
 There's a song we sang all summer in the bars in Dublin town
 I can hear it on the factory radio
 And the feelings I remember when I hear that simple tune
 Make me wonder if it really happenes so
 For we laughed and loved together 'til the summer days were gone
 And she had to fly across the ocean wide
 So goodbye my Boston beauty, until we meet again
 And I keep the fire burning deep and side
 Goodbye my Boston beauty, farewell my Boston rose
 I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you, I'll pose
 Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston rose
 I wish that you were here, but I know that's the way life goes
 And some nights when I'm drinking and my friends have gathered 'round
 Well just for fun someone brings up your name
 Well I smile there with the rest of them, but I can't hear a sound
 I love you but to them it's all the same
 And nights when I'm alone my love, you come into my mind
 And visions flash upon that Emerald Isle
 Well I watch the moon there up above that I leave this earth behind
 And I call to you as I go sailing by
 Goodbye my Boston beauty, farewell my Boston rose
 I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you, I'll pose
 Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston rose
 I wish that you were here, but I know that's the way life goes
 I wish that you were here, so farewell my Boston rose
