On Grafton Street
作曲 : nanci griffith/fred koller
On Grafton street at Christmas time
The elbows push you 'round
It's not my place of memories
I'm a stranger in this town
The faces seem familiar
I know the songs they're playing
I close my eyes and find myself
Five thousand miles away
It's funny how my world goes round without you
You're the one I never thought
I could live without
And I've just found this smile to think about you
You're a Saturday night
Far from the madding crowd
The buskers sing by candlelight
In front of Bewley's store
A young nun offers me a chair
At a table by the door
And I feel compelled to tell her
Of the sisters that we knew
How when they lit their candles
I'd say a prayer for you
It's funny how my world goes round without you
You're the one I never thought I could live without
And I've just found this smile to think about you
You're a Saturday night
Far from the madding crowd
music
The church bells ring for holy hour
And I'm back out in the rain
It's been
twenty years or more now
Since I last said your name
I hear you live near Dallas
In a house out on the plains
Why Grafton Street brought you to mind
I really can't explain
It's funny how my world goes round without you
You're the one I never thought I could live without
And I've just found this smile to think about you
You're a Saturday night
Far from the madding crowd
On Grafton street at Christmas time
The elbows push you 'round
All I carry now are memories
I'm a stranger in this town
