about

written/recorded in fall 2005

lyrics

New England rain washed away your sandy toes and your woes
and overcast your Aiken past and greyed your clothes

Carolina rural still a Beantown girl destined where the dry evening air
fills your lungs sweetens your tongue and curls your hair

now a southern flight from the weeping cold nights
dims the green and gold lights that charmed you warm

but if you open up your heart and if you open up your mind
if you open up your heart and let me inside
I'll be your Boston state of mind

Gaelic cheers o'er a round of beers
5 Points pub not quite the Hub
while the brew suffice you bottom lip and sigh
it's not here you dream of

So take this T take me I'm free
take me and I'll be for you anywhere

'cause if you open up your heart and if you open up your mind
if you open up your heart and let me inside
I'll be your Boston state of mind

and there you go and there you'll stay
you know I don't know why you stare out o'er the bay
when I'm right here

'cause if you open up your heart and if you open up your mind
if you open up your heart and let me inside
I'll be your Boston state of mind
