Dublin

lyrics

We walked west with heavy heads
Our mouths were dry from cigarettes
But just to be in Dublin for a moment
I felt alright
You made me smile, you made me feel alive
Phoenix Park in sheets of rain
Your sombre face, our silent pain
There’s nothing to be done and nothing to be said
I want to be quiet
I want to be still, I want to be nothing for a while

In nocturne Liffey’s black and gold
Glad I was with you not alone
Your body has a kind of beauty that my body does not contain
I know it does
I see it every time I see you
The fallen stars of city lights
Flickered in to sudden life
As we descended through the purple evening air
And in to the fields
I saw the nothing of my life right then


Life keeps quickening
It’s more than a decade since we became friends
Even now I have
Nostalgia for days that have only just passed
But every one is lost
Oh, to find some rest
Here in the rushing dark river of time


Night-time, August, drunken orbits
Passing by through other people’s lives

Consciousnesses side-by-side
Oh, the distance is almost intangible

Walking cities ghost-like lonely
The place remains our bodies disappear

Twilit Ireland heavy rain
Over all the living and all the dead
