Alone in Dublin

Hearts ache the same way Back home, as they do here Another drink in this pub won't make 'em disappear She puts the prose right on my page Lately, I feel artistically caged Like another crumb thrown off O'Connell Bridge For a seagull to take She knows my heart, she knows how to start it She knows my heart, she knows how to start it She knows my heart, she knows how to start it When I'm broke down and lonely It's midnight in the center of the city I wish you were here with me I wish you were here with me I'm all alone in Dublin, searching for something Wishing you were here with me Every life is many days Day after day I've spent the best of 'em in love with you, babe But I've wasted the worst, wasted away She knows my heart, she knows how to start it She knows my heart, she knows how to start it She knows my heart, she knows how to start it When I'm broke down and lonely It's midnight in the center of the city I wish you were here with me I wish you were here with me I'm all alone in Dublin, searching for something Wishing you were here with me Excuse my jingle-jangle jargon This melody won't rhyme with nothing But clues of you in everything that I see Was that your silhouette in St. Stephen's Green Coming over to rescue me? From the worst of myself From the feeling I no longer felt I wish you were here with me I wish you were here with me I'm all alone in Dublin, searching for something Wishing you were here with me She knows my heart, she knows how to start it She knows my heart, she knows how to start it
