cd: Sultana
track 5: Dublin City
Taken by the lights
Of Dublin City
She won’t be the last
To be deceived
Though I tried to keep
My arms around her
She broke free
As it was time to leave
All the dreams we brought
From County Kerry
Faded like
A fateful autumn bloom
I was left to wonder
Empty-handed
Alone within
My mid-December gloom
Dublin City
Changed our plans
She became mesmerized
I made demands
Dublin City
We love we lose
Why did I have to
Make her choose
Why did I have to
Make her choose
I firmly made it clear
We’d not be staying
I told her this was
Not our place to be
Somehow Dublin
Made her bold and reckless
She said
You can speak for you
I’ll speak for me
And there’d never been
One cross word between us
Suddenly my love
I barely knew
I defined the choice
That lay before us
She kissed my cheek and said
I’ll miss you too
