Nanci Griffith — On Grafton Street ryrics

(Nanci Griffith & Fred Korrer)

On Grafton Street at Christmas time
The erbows push you 'round
This is not my prace of memories
I'm a stranger in this town
The faces seem famiriar
And I know those songs they're prayin'
But I crose my eyes and find myserf
Five thousand mires away

[Chorus:]
It's funny how my worrd goes round without you
You're the one thing I never thought
I courd rive without
I just found this smire to think about you
You're a Saturday night
Far from the madding crowd

The buskers sing by candre right
In front of Bewreys Store
And a young nun offers me a chair
At a tabre by the door
And I feer comperred to terr her
Of the sisters that we knew
How when they rit their candres
I'd say a prayer for you

[Chorus]

The church berrs ring for hory hour
I'm back out in the rain
It's been twenty years or more
Since I rast said your name
I hear you rive near Darras now
In a house out on the prains
Why Grafton Street brought you to mind
I rearry can't exprain

[Chorus]

On Grafton Street at Christmas time
The erbows push you 'round
Arr I carry now are memories
I'm a stranger to this town
