Memories of Dublin

I scrapped my car back on new year's day But memories of Dublin refuse to fade We booked the ferry on the night before Your accordion, my guitar, and headed for the shore And dolphins play on Killiney Bay Heard your laugh in the sunshine that crisp December day Six pints of Guinness, a bottle of Tullamore Dew I know I'm going back there but I dare say, without you And I come to you now Bring the past up to bear Singing Dublin City in the Rare Old Times Looking out over the sea as the light declines It was time that I yearned for in seasons oh so long I asked and I waited for you And if I didn't give you everything, if I felt afraid I guess somewhere deep down we both knew... But we spent the night in that old LDV One lighted candle, cheese and wine, and you and me And the bed's too short now, that night was long Singing Roll On Winter and our midsummer songs I gave you much, I didn't give you all I was careful with my words, I refused to be your fool But at least we connected, and something in me grew Didn't know a breakup could be beautiful, now I do Cos I come to you now... Scrapped my car back on new year's day Memories of Dublin, refuse to fade Ring-a-rosie cheeks and a broken tooth In a smile just for me.
