Take me away from the city 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 leafy as it stank like hell And the young people walking on Grafton Street And everyone looking so ill I was singing a song I heard somewhere Called Rock and Roll Never Forget And the whole man was smothered by a .46 And the scream of a low-flying jet So I jumped on a bus to Dunlip Stopped enough to pick up my guitar And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich I was glad we weren't going too far So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning Trying to find a place where I can hear The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks While open roads always are near And if sometimes I tire of the quiet And want to walk back up that hill I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb And I know for sure you'll be there still I remember that summer in Dublin And the leafy as it stank like hell And the young people walking on Grafton Street And everyone looking so ill I was singing a song I heard somewhere Called Rock and Roll Never Forget And the whole man was smothered by a .32 And the scream of a low-flying jet So I jumped on a bus to Dunlip Stopped enough to pick up my guitar And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich I was glad we weren't going too far I remember that summer in Dublin I remember that summer in Dublin I remember that summer in Dublin
