Boston and St. John's - Great Big Sea

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…

And it’s true I must be going

But I swear I won’t be long

There isn’t that much ocean between Boston and St John’s

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

I’m a rover, can you love me anyway?

And if some suitor comes approaching

Will you let him through your door

And what if I return half-broken

Will you still want me anymore?

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 But, oh, 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…
