"Boston" lyrics - DERMOT KENNEDY

For the wolves we fought when a child was brave
Days on a Southern strand
Where we'd all pretend to be touring
And I'd wait all night for the smile you'd saved
Or how the wind would howl
Better head back now, it's a warning

[Chorus:]
We were swimming out so far this time
The sun and your eyes were the only fire
Pretty intimate so far, so I lit a holy fire

So we all gather our ghosts around the island flames
Oh, and the song she throws is not one I know
But it knew me
For an age long lost in time, erased
Days when they called our names
Stories tucked away, you tell it to me

[Chorus:]
We were swimming out so far this time
The sun and your eyes were the only fire
Pretty intimate so far, so I lit a holy fire

[Bridge:]
Take me back to places I feel loved in
Maybe failing that, take me to Boston
Strange that I'm not seeing you as often
Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in
What if all the costs are even

[Chorus:]
We were swimming out so far this time
(Take me to Boston, Boston)
The sun and your eyes were the only fire
(Take me back to places I feel loved in, loved in)
Pretty intimate so far, so I
(Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in, lost in)
Eyes of eye-eye, eyes of, a holy fire
