Lyrics - On Grafton Street by Griffith Nanci

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
The faces seem familiar
And
I know those songs they're playin'
But
I close my eyes and find myself
Five thousand miles away (chorus)
It's funny how my world goes round without you
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
Bewleys
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(repeat chorus)
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(repeat chorus)
On
Grafton
Street at
Christmas time
The elbows push you 'round
All
I carry now are memories
I'm a stranger to this town
