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
