Take Me Away From The City And Lead Me To Where I Can Be On My Own,

I Wanted To See It, And Now That I Have, I Want Just To Be Left Alone,

I'll Always Remember Your Kind Words, And I'll Still Remember Your Name,

But I've Seen You Changing And Turning, And I Know That Things Won't Be The Same.



I Remember That Summer In Dublin, And The Liffey As It Stank Like Hell,

And The Young People Walking On Grafton Street, And Everyone Looking So Well,

I Was Singing A Song I Heard Somewhere, Called "Rock'n'roll Never Forgets",

When My Hummin' Was Smothered By A 46A And The Scream Of A Lowªflying Jet.

So I Jumped On A Bus To Dun Laoire, Stoppin' Off To Pick Up My Guitar,

And A Drunk On The Bus Told Me How To Get Rich. I Was Glad We Weren't Goin' Too Far.



So I'm Leavin' On Wednesday Morning Tryin' To Find A Place Where I Can Hear

The Tunes Of The Birds And The Sea On The Rocks, Where Open Roads Always Are Near,

And If Sometimes I Tire Of The Quiet, And I Want To Walk Back Up That Hill,

I'll Just Get On The Road And Stick Out My Thumb. I Know That You'll Be There Still.
