Summer In Dublin

Take me away form this city and lead me
To where I can be on my own.
I wanted to see it and now that I have
I just want 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

Chorus:
I remember that summer in Dublin
And the Liffey as it stank like hell
And the young people walking down Grafton Street
And everyone looking so well

I was singing a song I heard somewhere
Called "Rock and Roll Never Forgets"
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
And the scream of a low flying jet
So I jumped on a bus to Dunleary
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

So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
Trying to find a place I can hear
Where the wind and the birds and the sea and the rocks
Where open roads always are near
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
And I want to get back up that hill
I'll just get on the road and stick out my thumb
I know that you'll be there still

Repeat chorus.
