The Airborne Toxic Event - Dublin lyrics

On the quiet banks of the Liffey and Lakes, Dublin wrote her name On the broad backs of men We never met with their pens and their stones, they did the same In the hours pa**ed in the Pubs, all the gla**es were full and they were Wet to the sleeve And the eyes were so clear on the girl I met there, I Swore I'd never leave And the young men who longed for these shores in a Song All they wanted was a home And I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the Light of dawn Patiently, she waits there for me to come home Was a bleary-eyed night, drunk from the lights and The sounds of a city awake And she stood in the crowd, her face as a shroud Leaving nothing for my eye to take But a warmth was so clear, it betrayed her as nearly She glowed like those lights on the bridge And a pain in my side, as I was drawn to her pride Like the rise of the wind to the ridge And the young men who longed for these shores in a Song All they wanted was a home And I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the Light of dawn Patiently, she waits there for me to come home These waters have run red, these beaches have bled From the wounds at the dark heart of man Daughters grown sharp, tongues like knives to The heart or a charm for the curse of the land With prayers in their eyes, how well they've disguised that it's love they're giving away But you might believe when your hard heart says Leave but this one implores you to stay And the young men who longed for these girls with Our songs All we wanted was a home She wants one too with someone heart as true as This prison made of stone Patiently, she waits there for me to come home Patiently, I wait to be free and be home
