All I carry now are memories
And I know those songs they're playing

In front of Bewley's Store
I'm a stranger in this town
I just found this smile to think about you

I hear you live near Dallas now
Five thousand miles away
The church bells ring for holy hour
In a house out on the plains
I'm back out in the rain
Oh, you're the one thing I never thought I could live without
How when they lit their candles
It's funny how my world goes 'round without you
But I close my eyes and find myself
It's been twenty years or more
And I feel compelled to tell her
I'd say a prayer for you

On Grafton Street at Christmas time
Oh, you're the one thing I never thought I could live without
At a table by the door

Oh, you're the one thing I never thought I could live without
I just found this smile to think about you
I'm a stranger to this town
Why Grafton Street brought you to mind
Since I last said your name
The elbows push you 'round
You're a Saturday night, far from the madding crowd

It's funny how my world goes 'round without you
It's funny how my world goes 'round without you
And the faces seem familiar
The buskers sing by candle light
This is not my place of memories
You're a Saturday night, far from the madding crowd
I really can't explain
You're a Saturday night, far from the madding crowd
And I just found this smile to think about you
And a young nun offers me a chair
Of the sisters that we knew
