Bagatelle - Summer In Dublin lyrics

rate me

1.

Take me away from this city,

And leave me to where I can be on my own.

I wanted to see you and now that I have

I just wanna be left alone.

I'll always remember your kind words,

And I'll still remember your name,

But I've seen you changing and turning,

And I know that things just won't be the same.

Ref.

I remember that summer in Dublin,

And the Liffey as it stank like hell,

And young people walking down Grafton Street,

Everyone looking so well.

I was singing a song I heard somewhere,

Called "Rock'n'Roll Never Forget",

When my humming was smothered by the 46A,

And the scream of a low flying jet.

So, I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire,

Stopping off to pick up my guitar,

When a drunk on a bus told me how to get rich,

I was glad we weren't going too far.

2.

So, I'm leaving on Wednesday morning,

Trying to find a place where I can hear,

The wind and the birds and the sea and rocks,

And where open roads are always out there.

And if sometimes I tire of the quiet,

And I wanna get back up that hill,

I just get on the road and I stick out my thumb,

‘Cause I know for sure you'll be there still.

Ref.

[As above]

I remember that summer in Dublin.

I can't stop see that sunshine in Dublin.
