Take me away from the city and
lead me to where I can be on my own
I wanted to see you and now that I have
I just want to be left alone

I'll always remember your kind words
And I still remember your name
But I've seen you changing and turning
And I know that things just won't be the same

And I remember that summer in Dublin
And the Liffey as it stank like hell
And the young people walking on Grafton street
And everyone looking so well
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
Called "Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets"
When my hummin' was smothered by a 46a
And the scream of a low flying jet
So I jumped on a bus to Dunlaoghaire
Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't goin' too far

So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
Tryin' to find a place where I can hear
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
And where open roads always are near

And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
And I want to walk back up that hill
I'll just get on the road and I’ll stick out my thumb
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still

I remember that summer in Dublin
And the Liffey as it stank like hell
And the young people walking on Grafton street
And everyone looking so well
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
Called "Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets"
When my hummin' was smothered by a 46a
And the scream of a low flying jet
So I jumped on a bus to Dunlaoghaire
Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't goin' too far

I remember that summer in Dublin
I can still see that sunshine in Dublin
