Boston and St.John's

Hmmm. I happen to notice you place some songs that require attention as well. Lets hope that you like this peice.

Girl, don't tell me that it's morning
     Can we keep the curtains drawn
     I haven't given you fair warning
     But our ship, she sails at dawn

     CHORUS:
     It's true I must be going but I swear I won't be long
     There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. John's
     I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away
     I'm a rover can you love me anyway?

     And if some suitor comes approaching
     Will you let him through your door
     And what if I return half broken
     Will you still want me anymore?

     CHORUS

     BRIDGE:
     Close your eyes and dream
     Tell me what you see
     Tell me what you want
     Just tell me that you'll wait for me

     Repeat 1

     CHORUS
