Dublin (Lynott)

------



After our affair

I swore that I'd leave Dublin

And in that line I'd left behind

The years, the tears, the memories and you



In Dublin



At the quays friends come and say farewell

We'd laugh and joke and smoke

And later on the boat

I'd cry over you



In Dublin



How can I leave the town that brings me down

That has no jobs

Is blessed by God

And makes me cry



Dublin



And at sea with flowing hair

I'd think of Dublin

Of Grafton Street and Derby Square

And those for whom I really care and you



In Dublin
