Bagatelle - Boston Rose lyrics

[Verse 1] Now the Autumn leaves are falling And the tourists have all gone And the children, they have all gone back to school My life is as it was before I work eight hours a day And the company's still making all the rules [Pre-Chorus] And there's a girl in Ma**achusetts South of Boston town she says And her lovely face is with me all the day I met her down in old Tralee Golden hair upon her head And I won her heart But she stole mine away [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] There's a song we sang all Summer In the bars of 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 happened so... [Pre-Chorus] For we laughed and loved together Until the Summer days were gone And she had to fly across the ocean wide So goodbye my Boston varsity Until we meet again And I'll keep a fire burning deep inside [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Some nights when I'm drinking And my friends are gathered 'round And just for fun someone brings up you name Well I laugh there with the rest of them But I can't hear a sound I love you, but to them it's all the same [Pre-Chorus] At nights when I'm alone, my love You come into my mind And visions flash upon that inward eye And I watch the moon, there, up above And I leave the Earth behind And I call to you as I go sailing by [Chorus] So 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 [Outro] I wish that you were here... So farewell my Boston rose...
