Подробнее о видео

"The Girl I Lost in Boston" is an Irish ballad about a man who travels to Boston with dreams of a new life, only to fall in love with a mysterious woman. As quickly as she enters his life, she vanishes without a trace, leaving him heartbroken and searching the city for her in vain. The song reflects his sorrow and longing as he remembers their brief time together and comes to terms with the loss. The haunting imagery of the city and the fading woman mirrors the emotional depth of his unfulfilled love.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Oh, I sailed from Erin, so young and so bold
With dreams in me pockets and silver untold
But Boston, she called me, her streets paved in gold
’Twas there that I met her, with eyes bright and cold

Verse 1 (Reprise):
Oh, I sailed from Erin, so young and so bold
With dreams in me pockets and silver untold
But Boston, she called me, her streets paved in gold
’Twas there that I met her, with eyes bright and cold

Verse 2:
Her hair like the sunset on Galway Bay’s shore
Her laugh like the waves that in silence implore
She danced through me heart, like the wind through the moor
And I loved her in ways I had never before

Chorus:
But Boston, oh Boston, ye cruel-hearted town
Ye took her away when the sun had gone down
I searched through yer alleys, yer pubs, and yer quay
But the girl I lost in Boston, she’ll ne’er come to me

Verse 3:
We’d walk by the Charles as the moon lit the night
Her voice like a songbird, so gentle, so light
But she vanished one evening, like dew in the light
Leaving naught but a whisper, a fading delight

Verse 4:
I wandered the Commons, the South End, and more
I knocked every tavern, I searched every door
But Boston, ye hid her, I’ll see her no more
The girl that I loved on your far distant shore

Chorus:
Oh Boston, oh Boston, ye cruel-hearted town
Ye took her away when the sun had gone down
I searched through yer alleys, yer pubs, and yer quay
But the girl I lost in Boston, she’ll ne’er come to me

Verse 5:
Now I stand on the docks with the fog rolling in
With tears in me eyes and a bottle of sin
For I’ll ne’er find her laugh or the warmth of her skin
The girl I lost in Boston, where love’s grown so thin

Verse 6:
So I’ll raise up a glass to the love that’s now gone
To the streets where we wandered from dusk until dawn
And I’ll sing her a song in this heart-breaking town
For the girl I lost in Boston, who’ll ne’er come around

Final Chorus:
Oh Boston, oh Boston, ye cruel-hearted town
Ye took her away when the sun had gone down
I searched through yer alleys, yer pubs, and yer quay
But the girl I lost in Boston, she’ll ne’er come to me
