Boston Rose Written by Dublin singer-songwriter Liam Reilly.

Now the autumn leaves are falling, and 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 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 won 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 of Dublin town I can here it on the factory radio And the feelings I remember when hear that simple tune Make me wonder if it really happened so For we laughed and loved together 'Til the summer days were gone, Then she had to fly across the ocean wide. So Goodbye, my Boston beauty And until we meet again, I'll keep this fire burning deep inside 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 sometimes when I'm drinking, and my friends have gathered round Well just for fun some one brings up your name Well, I'll smile there with the rest of them, 'Til I can't hear a sound I love you but to them its all the same At nights when I'm alone my alone my love, you come into my mind And visions fly across this Emerald Isle Well I watch that moon there up above then 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
