about

This is a song about leaving Boston and moving back to the midwest, a process that was very emotional for me.

lyrics

Watertown's Dry - I can feel it in my shoulders
Yeah the wind blew us in
Two brothers filled with sin
Waiting there to die
Carver Road - another load for us to carry
The early morning lies
The cigarettes and flies
and Watertown's Dry

Bus 72, I pull down your string
right around School Street
And I will try to be discreet
on the early morning bicycle rides

Watertown's Dry
I showed it to my cousin
And my southern friend
he'll be there til the end
and Watertown's Dry

Bus 72, I pull down your string
right around School Street
And I will try to be discreet
on those back morning bicycle rides

Let us not forget
the streets that made us wet
the things that made you cry
I miss you - so long
and now I'll say goodnight
... Watertown's Dry
