Dublin
Phil 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
