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 music The church bells ring for holy hour And I'm back out in the rain It's been twenty years or more now Since I last said your name I hear you live near Dallas 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 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 On Grafton street at Christmas time The elbows push you 'round All I carry now are memories I'm a stranger in this town
