The sky is seven shades of grey
And frost floats in the air
I can’t believe its pouring sunshine
Down on you back there
I can’t believe the dreams we had
Led me so far from home
Leaving both of us alone
I’m seven miles from Boston
And two thousand miles from you
Seven miles from Boston
Just trying to make a long-time dream come true
And bring it on home to you
That’s what I’m going to do
I can’t forget the night before
I set out on my way
We talked about the things we’d do
When I returned some day
We sat outside and watched the moon beams
Dancing on the lawn, lasting
Till the break of dawn
I’m seven miles from Boston
And two thousand miles from you
Seven miles from Boston
Just trying to make a long-time dream come true
And bring it on home to you
That’s what I’m going to do
Bridge
At times it seems we’ve let our dreams just slip away
They always seemed much brighter in the night
But when the morning came the dreams would simply fade to grey
And leave us watching as they slowly faded out of sight
