Boston and St. John's

1. 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, it sails at dawn

R: And it's true I must be going, but I swear it won't be long

There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. Johns

I'm a rover, and I'm bound to sail away

I'm a rover can you love me anyway?

2. And if some suitor comes approaching

Will you let him through your door?

What if I return half-broken?

Will you still love me any more?

R: And it's true...

*: Close your eyes and dream

And tell me what you see

You can tell me what you want

Just tell me that you'll wait for me

3. 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

R: And it's true...
