lyrics

I have never been a patriot
In fact I hate this place
Never understood the borderlines
That divide and separate us from ourselves

But there was a time I fought
Against the sea I stood my ground
Not for the land or its identity
But just for the love I'd found in you

But when I thought I'd lost you
On that Winter's afternoon
I'm glad I turned around
And knocked again
And it's sad you never saw the lights
Of Boston, Massachusettes
But you're still as free to go
As you were then

Sure, there isn't quite the sunshine here
That you'd find in the States
But I'll find a way to light your day
While we still have daffodils and movie dates

Now whenever I hear Boston
I think of all the things we'll do
And I know that even if you'd gone
I'd sell everything to catch that plane with you

Oh, my love
There's never been a time
When I've been happier
