On Grafton Street at Christmas time
The elbows push you 'round.
This is not my place of memories -
I'm a stranger in this town.

The faces seem familiar,
And I know those songs they're playing.
But I close my eyes and find myself
Five thousand miles away.

It's funny how my world goes 'round without you -
You're the one thing I never thought I could live without.
I just found this smile to think about you;
You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd.

The buskers sing by candle light
In front of Bewley's Store,
And a young nun offers me a chair
At a table by the door.

And I feel compelled to tell her
Of the sisters that we knew,
How when they lit their candles
I'd say a prayer for you.

It's funny how my world goes 'round without you -
You're the one thing I never thought I could live without.
I just found this smile to think about you;
You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd.

The church bells ring for holy hour,
I'm back out in the rain.
It's been twenty years or more
Since I last said your name.

I hear you live near Dallas now
In a house out on the plains;
Why Grafton Street brought you to mind
I really can't explain.

It's funny how my world goes 'round without you -
You're the one thing I never thought I could live without.
I just found this smile to think about you;
You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd.

On Grafton Street at Christmas time
The elbows push you 'round.
All I carry now are memories -
I'm a stranger to this town.


Mirror lyrics:

I'm a stranger to this town.
All I carry now are memories -
The elbows push you 'round.
On Grafton Street at Christmas time

You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd.
I just found this smile to think about you;
You're the one thing I never thought I could live without.
It's funny how my world goes 'round without you -

I really can't explain.
Why Grafton Street brought you to mind
In a house out on the plains;
I hear you live near Dallas now

Since I last said your name.
It's been twenty years or more
I'm back out in the rain.
The church bells ring for holy hour,

You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd.
I just found this smile to think about you;
You're the one thing I never thought I could live without.
It's funny how my world goes 'round without you -

I'd say a prayer for you.
How when they lit their candles
Of the sisters that we knew,
And I feel compelled to tell her

At a table by the door.
And a young nun offers me a chair
In front of Bewley's Store,
The buskers sing by candle light

You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd.
I just found this smile to think about you;
You're the one thing I never thought I could live without.
It's funny how my world goes 'round without you -

Five thousand miles away.
But I close my eyes and find myself
And I know those songs they're playing.
The faces seem familiar,

I'm a stranger in this town.
This is not my place of memories -
The elbows push you 'round.
On Grafton Street at Christmas time

look at you

the kid

anywhere i go

don't want to talk about it

my life, love, everything

keep secrets

me haces falta

stones

right now

raise the shade

me and maxine

oceans of envy

tired of waiting for you

lonely know my secret

himalaya

un corazã³n que me abrace

como han pasado los aãƒâ±os
