On Grafton Street - Nancy Griffith

[00:00.0]On Grafton Street - Nancy Griffith
[00:15.84]On Grafton street at Christmas time
[00:19.73]The elbows push you 'round
[00:23.23]This is not my place of memories
[00:27.12]I'm a stranger in this town
[00:33.2]The faces seem familiar
[00:37.03]And I know those songs they're playin'
[00:40.67]But I close my eyes and find myself
[00:44.33]Five thousand miles away
[00:51.04]It's funny how my world goes round without you
[00:58.59]You're the one thing I never thought
[01:01.85]I could live without
[01:06.33]I just found this smile to think about you
[01:13.04]You're a Saturday night
[01:15.56]Far from the madding crowd
[01:21.83]The buskers sing by candle light
[01:25.6]In front of Bewleys Store
[01:28.88]And a young nun offers me a chair
[01:32.7]At a table by the door
[01:38.520004]And I feel compelled to tell her
[01:42.5]Of the sisters that we knew
[01:46.15]How when they lit their candles
[01:49.880005]I'd say a prayer for you
[01:56.490005]It's funny how my world goes round without you
[02:04.0]You're the one thing I never thought
[02:07.21]I could live without
[02:11.68]I just found this smile to think about you
[02:18.36]You're a Saturday night
[02:20.88]Far from the madding crowd
[02:27.25]The church bells ring for holy hour
[02:30.67]I'm back out in the rain
[02:34.74]It's been twenty years or more
[02:38.15]Since I last said your name
[02:43.91]I hear you live near Dallas now
[02:47.74]In a house out on the plains
[02:51.53]Why Grafton Street brought you to mind
[02:55.14]I really can't explain
[03:01.83]It's funny how my world goes round without you
[03:09.45]You're the one thing I never thought
[03:12.68]I could live without
[03:17.15]I just found this smile to think about you
[03:23.78]You're a Saturday night
[03:26.26]Far from the madding crowd
[03:32.74]On Grafton Street at Christmas time
[03:36.17]The elbows push you 'round
[03:39.54001]All I carry now are memories
[03:43.42]I'm a stranger to this town
