Patty Griffin, an American singer-songwriter, was born March 16th, 1964 in Old Town, Maine. She brought out her debut album Living With Ghosts--a set of demos featuring only Ms. Griffin and her guitar--to critical acclaim in 1996. Her sophomore album, Flaming Red, demonstrated a more rocking, full-band sound. The ill-fated Silver Bell album was never released by her record label.

Boston Lyrics
Patty Griffin
I went back to boston
Back to the city of lost love
I went back to the place
And recognized your face in the stone long gone
I walked around harvard square
All the runaway kids are still hanging out there
I took the red line a wrong way
Across the river charles
Somethings changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
Youll find that youre only waving goodbye
I went walking in boston
A little bridge I used to walk on
I was slipping on a hog
And I flung into that sea of strong
Processing need not apply
For you to license to fly
Hey young lady dont be so suprised
You know youre not alone
Somethings changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
Youll find that youre only waving goodbye
It was memorial day
I went to where you lay
There were thousands of people
Just like you in a chain graveyard
You came out of there awake
Looking for the sky
And got a slap in the face
Well hey
Desperate needs a big led
And gets put in the place
You better know your place boy
Somethings changed track
And they never fly
And they never fly
Reach up from the waves
Youll find that youre only waving goodbye
Only waving
Youre only waving
Youre only waving
Youre only waving goodbye
Goodbye
