	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song while sitting in a coffee house in Boston. Just the night before, we saw a performer there who talked about how all her songs were drawn directly from her environment. I was sitting beside two people whose conversation I could not help but overhear. I began to write and it wasn't long before the first verse appeared before me. Lyrics Boston Neptune and Venus were retrograde last month Sara said that she didn't know that She didn't know because she'd never tried Once she did, she realised what she'd never known But I'm not sitting close enough to find out what Boston isn't where I live I'm just here for a visit Listening to conversations of people sitting next to me And sipping on my second cup of coffee Getting used to the noise, the different sounds I like the music in the coffee house rounds Almost time to be going home Sought out the women's bookstore Read through the girlie magazines Lesbian erotica, oral history And the folk music scene We asked the woman at the cash for directions to Provincetown She said if we could get there We would see women, we'd be happy We'd be in a new land Rainbow flags flying everywhere New country of artists, restaurateurs Bus loads of tourists not knowing where to stare Boston isn't where I live I'm just here for a visit Listening to conversations of people sitting next to me And sipping on my second cup of coffee Getting used to the noise, the different sounds I like the music in the coffee house rounds Almost time to be going home Boston isn't where I live I'm just here for a visit Listening to conversations of people sitting next to me And sipping on my second cup of coffee Getting used to the noise, the different sounds I like the music in the coffee house rounds Almost time to be going home Copyright Beth Miller 2002
