Summer in Dublin

Take me away from the city and lead me to where I can be on my own

I wanted to see it, and now that I have

I want just to 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 won't be the same

I remember that summer in Dublin

And the Liffey as it stank like hell

And the young people walking on Grafton Street

And everyone looking so well

I was singing a song I heard somewhere

Called "Rock 'N 'Roll Never Forgets"

My humming was smothered by a 46A

And the scream of a low-flying jet

So, I jumped on a bus to Dún Laoghaire

Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar

And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich

I was glad we weren't going too far

So, I'm leaving on Wednesday morning

Trying to find a place where I can hear

The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks

Where open roads always are near

And if sometimes I tire of the quiet

And I want to walk back up that hill

I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb

And I know for sure you'll be there still

I remember that summer in Dublin

And the Liffey as it stank like hell

And the young people walking on Grafton Street

And everyone looking so well

I was singing a song I heard somewhere

Called "Rock 'N 'Roll Never Forgets"

When my humming was smothered by a 32B

And the scream of a low-flying jet

So, I jumped on a bus to Dún Laoghaire

Stopping off to pick up my guitar

And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich

I was glad we weren't going too far

And I remember that summer in Dublin, oh

I remember that summer in Dublin

Oh-lay, oh-lay

Oh-lay, oh-lay

Oh-lay
