Boston, Why?

Tonight I went to hear Matt Wertz play near Fenway. He puts on a terrific concert and just has a knack for getting the audience into the show. It was a great concert but as he sang this song...I couldn't help but think of my friend. I took the "Liberty" of changing some of the words, but I figured he'd be okay with that seeing how the song brings back such memories of the one's we lose. Terrific song for a wonderful friend - what it will be like to return home without your greeting I cannot imagine...

Boston, Why?
It's cold in the living room on Canterbury,
It's quiet 'round the table tonight,
It's half empty in this house,
And this half don't know what to do...

Boston, why'd you have to leave us so soon?

We keep fumbling through the words to explain it all,
We keep searching for the beauty in the dust,
We keep telling ourselves,
It was your time...

Boston, why can't you just be here tonight?

Bowl is on the floorside,
Leish is up on high,
Door is open for you,
And you're beating in our hearts...

Boston, why'd you have to leave us so soon?

We keep waiting for your barking at the back door,
We keep waiting for the punchline to the joke,
We keep shedding these tears,
And shouting at the moon...

Boston why'd you have to leave us so soon?

Bowl is on the floorside,
Leish is up on high,
Door is open for you,
And you're beating in our hearts...

Boston, why'd you have to leave us so soon?
