Letra de Goodbye to Boston

He was my love before I knew the meaning
Just eighteen, both very in-between
Deciding who to tell and when to hide
In a time when shame was turning into pride
Choose your way or you lose your way
Find tomorrow from yesterday
The single bed we shared was warm and wide
And the walls were blue, and love was true
And everything was new
In Boston
When college ended, I went off to search for
Something more--I was bound for glory
He moved to Concord where the red bird sings
We were still in love, just needing different things
Choose your way and you lose your way
Find each other again someday
We separated all our books and clothing
Shared a cry 'til our eyes ran dry
And then we said goodbye
To Boston
I found another life and so did he
And love became a memory
Exchanging Christmas cards each year or two
We tried to keep in touch
As people do
I got a call to say the news was bad
There were pills for pain, a fire in his brain
His lover told me he was full of fight
But the final round was probably in sight
I went to see him when the snow was falling
Soft and wet, I never will forget
He stood to greet me while I parked the car
With a green silk hat on, covering the scar
Spring and summer and autumn fly
Winter comes, and we don't know why
We can't hold on, no matter how we try
So we choose each day as we lose each day
And we try to find our way
To Boston
