I miss those cotton candy clouds over the harbor
The sailboats as they dance along the Charles
In that Citgo sign I always find a reason to hope
A feeling I left on that runway long ago
But when I close my eyes for dreaming
You're the one thing that I see
I need your salt air to slow my breathing
Wind in my sails to set me free
I'm anchored to a place that I was set on leaving
And now it's the only thing I need
Boston (Oooh) Boston (Oooh)
I need a break to restore my soul
A chance to let life get unwound
I'm so caught up in the in between of every high and low
I long for silence to break the sound
But when I close my eyes for dreaming
You're the one thing that I see
I need your salt air to slow my breathing
Wind in my sails to set me free
I'm anchored to a place that I was set on leaving
And now it's the only thing I need
Boston (Oooh) Boston (Oooh)
I see the heat from the jet engine
Blur my view of all connection
To the place I let rob my mind
I'm headed for forgiveness
To a home that renews wishes
Where I left my roots behind
But when I close my eyes for dreaming
You're the one thing that I see
I need your salt air to slow my breathing
Wind in my sails to set me free
I'm anchored to a place that I was set on leaving
And now it's the only thing I need
Boston (Oooh) Boston (Oooh)
