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 And 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 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 [Chorus] The church bells ring for holy hour And 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 [Chorus] On Grafton Street at Christmas time The elbows push you round All I carry now are memories I'm a stranger in this town
