Not My Way Home |
| 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 |
| And the faces seem familiar |
| And I know those songs they’re playin' |
| But I close my eyes and find myself |
| Five thousand miles away |
| It’s funny how my world goes round without you |
| Oh 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 Bewleys 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 |
| Oh you’re the one thing I never thought |
| I could live without |
| And 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 |
| And I’m back out in the rain |
| It’s been twenty years or more |
| Since I last said your name |
| And 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 |
| And 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 |
