Boston 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 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 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 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 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 e-e, holy fire
