dublin farewell - anthony da costa lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, i carried your memory on a chain around my neck
as i walked the streets of dublin all alone
everywhere the people asked, what was it that you fled?
what was it brought you here so far from home?
but all i could tell myself was little bits of lies
and try to build myself into a man
there’s nothing like love to cut you down to size
and show what you can do and what you can’t

[verse 2]
i met a girl with green eyes who teased me for a while
and showed me just how desperate i am
but when all i can see is blue skies for so many milеs
how can one cloud cause so much rain?
but i’m clutching to a memory that has no right to livе
that has no right to call itself by name
wanting to share my dreams with nothing left to give
but love knows no alibis, no shame

[verse 3]
with my hands in my pockets and my collar inside out
i walked through county kerry in the rain
watching the fishing boats fight an angry sea
a tiny dot of strength in so much pain
there is a phantom lighthouse draws the sailors to their deaths
’cause whatever life gives, it also takes
but still they find the need to sail the sea, they’re just fools like me
i guess we never learn from our mistakes
oh, i guess we never learn from our mistakes
[outro]
i carried your memory on a chain around my neck
as i bid farewell to dublin all alone
