St. Patrick's Day (An Ode to Dublin)
Dublin, my child, won't you raise up
Spirits, and souls, and the drink cup
Lately my happiness wandered
Whole of my heart has been plundered
She stuck me up on the alter
I said "I do" and she faltered
I stood there waiting and hoping
She walked away now I'm broken
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
On St. Patrick's Day
Dublin, my child, you're a best friend
Love breaks our hearts just to heal them
Ancestors sailed from this isle
Love lights a terrible fire
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
On St. Patrick's Day
I feel safe
I feel whole
Losing control
Wash me away down the watering hole
I feel safe
I feel whole
Losing control
In a watering hole
Dublin, my child, won't you raise up
Spirits, and souls, and the drink cup
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
On St. Patrick's Day
Spirits, and souls, and the drink cup
Lately my happiness wandered
Whole of my heart has been plundered
She stuck me up on the alter
I said "I do" and she faltered
I stood there waiting and hoping
She walked away now I'm broken
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
On St. Patrick's Day
Dublin, my child, you're a best friend
Love breaks our hearts just to heal them
Ancestors sailed from this isle
Love lights a terrible fire
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
On St. Patrick's Day
I feel safe
I feel whole
Losing control
Wash me away down the watering hole
I feel safe
I feel whole
Losing control
In a watering hole
Dublin, my child, won't you raise up
Spirits, and souls, and the drink cup
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
I came here today
Hoping to heal old wounds
Memories and pain
Oh, I drank them away
On St. Patrick's Day
