Royal Canal

Yellow buses in the curvy lines
The smell of Spring on the Finglas Road
The rain that falls unannounced
Oh but I don't wanna go back

Even tho I still go there in my dreams
Even if I long for it in my songs
My past life tells me I belong
Oh but I don't wanna go back

I remember my walks by the canal
With a free coffee, a gift from my work
I remember the pints of the dark elixir
And the late, late Sun going down

We got used to our nice community
With your beautiful soul you made it feel like home
Those people were there to follow their dreams
I think none of them is up there anymore

Even tho I still go there in my dreams
I still collect the parts of my soul
My heart stopped beating when we fell apart
Already seems like a long time ago

I remember my walks by the canal
With a free coffee, a gift from my work
I remember the pints of the dark elixir
And the late, late Sun going down
On the Royal Canal
