Dublin City Sky

I was down the bottom half of some old bar in Chinatown

Me shoes had brought the rain and soaked the space for lookin' down

As drunk as love is lethal, I spun a lady 'round

And I kissed her 'neath the waking of a Dublin City sky

She threw her shoes into her bag and danced just like a dream

Her face was rubied up just like no Sun I'd ever seen

She said I was a phony, I said I could be mean

And I treated her so badly I made my baby cry

The January markets filled the cold air with the sound

The boys all full of laughter and their pocket with the pound

And in the foggy dew, I saw you throwing shapes around

It was underneath the waking of a Dublin City sky

And it all makes sour

To watch my lover wrap her arms around the flag of power

Hurry now you will

To know you is to love you and I love you even still

But we'll never truly be

We trip along disaster in the whirlwind of the free

Altogether now

I was down the bottom half of some old bar in Chinatown

Me shoes had brought the rain and soaked the space for lookin' down

And in the foggy dew, I saw you throwing shapes around

It was underneath the waking of a Dublin City sky

And it all makes sour

To watch my lover wrap her arms around the flag of power

Hurry now you will

To know you is to love you and I love you even still

Ah, but we'll never truly be

We trip along disaster in the whirlwind of the free

Altogether now
