On Grafton street at Christmas time
The elbows push you 'round
It's not my place of memories
I'm a stranger in this town
The faces seem familiar
I know the songs they're playing
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 I never thought I could live without
And I've just found this smile to think about you
You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd
The buskers sing by candlelight
In front of Bewley's store
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 I never thought I could live without
And I've just found this smile to think about you
You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd
The elbows push you 'round
It's not my place of memories
I'm a stranger in this town
The faces seem familiar
I know the songs they're playing
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 I never thought I could live without
And I've just found this smile to think about you
You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd
The buskers sing by candlelight
In front of Bewley's store
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 I never thought I could live without
And I've just found this smile to think about you
You're a Saturday night far from the madding crowd
