Great Big Sea - 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

[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

[Chorus]
