About

Boston and St. John’s is written from the perspective of a sailor leaving the girl he loves. Although he loves her, he must go, and he tells her that he’s not as far away as she thinks and that he will be back soon.

Boston And St. John’s Lyrics

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

And 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
But I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover can you love me anyway?

Oh, 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?

And 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
But I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover, can you love me anyway?

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

But oh 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

And 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
But I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover, oh I'm a rover
I'm a rover, can you love me anyway?
Love me anyway, love me anyway, no no oh
