Please Come to Boston (Single Version) - Dave Loggins

"Please come to Boston for the springtime I'm staying here with some friends and they've got lots of room You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk By a cafe were I hope to be working soon Please come to Boston She said "No, Won't you come home to me." She said "Ramblin' boy, won't ya settle down? Boston ain't your kinda town There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me I'm the number one fan of a man from Tennessee" Please come to Denver where the snow falls We'll move up into the mountains so high that we can't be found And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon And we'll lie awake at night 'til they come back around Please come to Denver She said "No, Baby you come home to me." She said "Ramblin' boy, why don't ya settle down? Denver ain't your kinda town There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee" Please come to L.A., we'll live forever The California life alone is just too hard to bear We'll live in a house that looks out over the ocean And we'll see stars that fell from the sky, livin' up on the hill Please come to L.A. She said "No, Baby you come home to me." She said "Hey ramblin' boy, why don't ya settle down? L.A. ain't your kinda town There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee" Please come to Boston for the springtime Please come to Boston for the springtime Please come to Boston Won't you please come to Boston Won't you please come home to me Won't you please come to Denver Won't you please come to me (to L.A.) Won't you please come back to your family (to Boston) Won't you please come to L.A. Won't you please come to Denver where the snow falls"

Steady your heart baby, this one might hurt The buildings are burning, the people will fall down Momentum relentless, so steady the senses The exit wound's fresh, he's keeping his distance Bleed on my floor And take back your old habit Just like a friend searching for heaven too soon And I will find your remnants when you are gone Blow through the glass, cut straight to the hole Steady your heart baby, this one might hurt The buildings are burning, the people will fall down Momentum relentless, so steady the senses The exit wound's fresh, he's keeping his distance Do the artsy thing and die Someone unprepared will find you The best surprise is on the unprepared My hope grows no older Reality keeps its distance Could I turn back time Take back a wasted life? Or do we only get one? Only so much can be forgiven So lets pretend it's supposed be this way Steady your heart baby, this one might hurt The buildings are burning, the people will fall down Momentum relentless, so steady the senses The exit wound's fresh, he's keeping his distance Do the artsy thing and die Someone unprepared will find you The best surprise is on the unprepared I wasn't there These walls they have eyes They have seen your demise They've witnessed the loss of all hope And I wasn't there I wasn't there No warnings, No screams You cut loose all your dreams This cant be the end you had planned And I wasn't there We were so unprepared

Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong wait and see Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me Who said that every wish would be heard And answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that And someone believed it Look what it's done so far What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing? And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name Are these the sweet sounds that call the young sailors? I think they're one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me

Love is real Real is love Love is feeling Feeling loved Love is wanting To be loved Love is touch Touch is love Love is reaching Reaching out Love is asking To be loved Love is you You and me Love is knowing You can be Oh Love is free Free is love All this living Living, living, love Love is needing To be loved Love is you You and me Love is wanting To be free Love is knowing We will be

Listen to the people crying Hoping for the day they'll be free I don't have to tell you we're (they're) dieing Just wake up, take a look, what do You see? I see young men my own age in coffins And mothers in tears for their sons* And sweethearts and wives Alone with their memories And golden ribbon's those fortunes of war Thousands and thousands Shall gather together To seek and find the Way we all need And the son will bring (backhanded glory) us together Hallelujah And rid ourselves of the pain we all see We see young men our own age in coffins And Mothers in tears for their sons And Sweetheart's and wives Alone with their memories And golden ribbon's those fortunes of war What does it to avail a man To gain fortune And lose his soul?

I was sitting at a table on an open bay Waiting for drink of rum When I asked my waiter for the time of day She said, "Look out there's a centipede coming your way" In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet I was lying by the water in the morning sun Shaded by a coconut tree When I turned around it was all I could see There was great big centipede staring at me In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet I had only just a second to decide what to do While looking at his poisonous fangs When I said I thought it was a beautiful day He said, "Wow Mr. Hall, I think you're pushing my leg" In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet
