As I taxied down the runway at Logan for the last time as a Boston resident I watched the sun rise over the harbor and listened to a few choice “Boston” songs.

Dirty Water
Down by the river. Down by the banks of the river Charles. That’s where you’ll find me along with lovers, fuggers and thieves. Well I love that dirty water! Oh, Boston, you’re my home!

Tessie
Boston, you know we love you madly. Hear the crowd roar to your sound. Don’t blame us if we ever doubt you. You know we couldn’t live without you.

Sweet Caroline

I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind… I think I need a sunrise, I’m tired of the sunset….
