nanci griffith – on grafton street lyrics
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
and the faces seem familiar
and i know those songs they’re playin’
but i close my eyes and find myself
five thousand miles away
it’s funny how my world goes round without you
oh you’re the one thing i never thought
i could live without
i just found this smile to think about you
you’re a sat-rday night
far from the madding crowd
the buskers sing by candle light
in front of bewleys store
and 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
it’s funny how my world goes round without you
oh 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 sat-rday night
far from the madding crowd
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
and 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
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 sat-rday night
far from the madding crowd
on grafton street at christmas time
the elbows push you ’round
all i carry now are memories
i’m a stranger to this town
