VERSE
Boston
Augustana
In the light of the sun, is there anyone?
Oh it has begun
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed This world you must've crossed You said
You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah And you said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah
Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones Who cry when they see you
Oh, you said
You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah
Well you said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah
She said I think I'll go to Boston I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather I think I'll get a lover and fly him out to Spain Oh yeah and I think I'll go to Boston I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset I hear it's nice in the summer, some snow would be nice
Oh yeah
You don't know me, and you don't even care, oh yeah
Boston
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name, yeah
Boston
Where no one knows my name

About this Song
A heartbroken girl who has gone through an exceedingly tough life sings about starting her life anew. Tired of the cycles she has been trapped in, she plans to move to a new City where she is a stranger and nobody knows her name. Though the song is sad and somber, there is hope for this character. If she does make the move to Boston and starts a new life, maybe that life will be a more virtuous one.
