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 playing
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 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

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
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

On grafton street at christmas time
The elbows push you 'round
All i carry now are memories
I'm a stranger to this town
