Dale Armstrong - Summer In Dublin Lyrics

Take me away from the city
Lead me to where I can be on my own
I wanted to see you and now that I have
I just wanna be left alone

I'll always remember your kind words
I'll still remember your name
But I've seen you change and turnin'
And I know things won't be the same

I remember that summer in Dublin
And the Liffey as it stank like hell
Young people walking down Grafton Street
Everybody was looking so well
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
Called "Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets"
My hummin' was smothered by a 46a
And the scream of a low flying jet
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
When a drunk on a bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't goin' too far

So I'm leaving on Wednesday mornin'
Tryin' to find a place where I can hear
The tune of the rocks and the sea and the birds
Where ocean roads are always out there

And sometimes I tire of the quiet
And I wanna get back up that hill
I just get on the road and stick out my thumb
And I you'll always be there still

I remember that summer in Dublin
And the Liffey as it stank like hell
And the young people walking down Grafton street
Everybody was looking so well
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
Called "Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets"
My hummin' was smothered by a 32b
The scream of a low flying jet
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
When a drunk on a bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't goin' too far

I remember that summer in Dublin, ooh ooh
I remember that summer in Dublin
