Summer In Dublin
Nathan Carter Lyrics

Take me away from the city
Transport me from the urban hustle and bustle

Lead me to where I can be on my own
Guide me to a place of solitude and personal reflection

I wanted to see you and now that I have
I longed for a reunion, and now that it has happened

I just wanna to be left alone
I feel the need for solitude after our encounter

I'll always remember your kind words
Your thoughtful and gentle expressions will stay with me

I'll still remember your name
The memory of you and your identity will linger in my mind

Cause I've seen you changing and turning
I have witnessed your personal growth and transformations

And I know things won't be the same
I understand that our relationship or circumstances have irreversibly altered

I remember that summer in Dublin and the Liffey as it stank like hell
I recall my time spent in Dublin, marked by both fondness and unpleasantness, particularly the Liffey River's odor

And the young people walking on Grafton Street
And the vibrant youth meandering along the bustling Grafton Street

Everybody looking so well
Everyone appeared to be in good spirits and health

I was singing a song I’d heard somewhere
I found myself humming a familiar tune that resonated with memories

Called ‘Rock 'n' roll Never Forgets
The song was titled 'Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets', emphasizing nostalgia

My hummin' was smothered by a 46a
My singing was drowned out by the noise of a passing bus (the 46a route)

And the scream of a low flying jet
And the sound of a low-flying airplane added to the cacophony

So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
Thus, I boarded a bus heading out to Dun Laoghaire, a coastal town

Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
I made a brief stop to retrieve my guitar

When on the bus told me how to get rich
During the bus ride, someone shared with me their idea of gaining wealth

I was glad we weren't goin' too far
I felt relieved that our journey had limits and I wouldn’t be captured in a lengthy ride

So I'm leavin’ on Wednesday morning
I plan to depart on a Wednesday morning

And tryin' to find a place where I can hear
In search of a location where I can experience the beautiful sounds of nature

The tunes of the birds and the sea on the rocks
Where I can listen to the melodies of birds and the ocean crashing against the shore

And where ocean roads always are near
And where coastal routes are always accessible for exploration

Sometimes I tire of the quiet
At times, I grow weary of the silence surrounding me

And I wanna walk back up that hill
And I feel a yearning to return to that elevated spot I once frequented

I'll just get on the road and stick out my thumb
I’ll hitchhike and embrace the spontaneity of travel

And I know you’ll always be there still
I carry the certainty that you'll remain a part of my memories

I remember that summer in Dublin and the Liffey as it stank like hell
I reminisce about that summer in Dublin, marked by both joyful experiences and the unpleasant smell of the Liffey

And the young people walking on Grafton Street
And the spirited youth strolling through the lively Grafton Street

Everybody looking so well
Everyone seemed to radiate happiness and vitality

I was singing a song I’d heard somewhere
I found myself humming a familiar melody from the past

Called Rock 'n' roll Never Forgets
The song was titled ‘Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets’, evoking nostalgia

My hummin' was smothered by a 46a
The sound of my voice was overwhelmed by the passing 46a bus

And the scream of a low flying jet
And the noise of a nearby jet added to the background chaos

So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
I decided to take a bus to Dun Laoghaire, seeking a change of scenery

Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
I made a quick stop to grab my guitar, my companion in this journey

When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
While on the bus, a inebriated person shared their scheme for wealth

I was glad we weren't goin' too far
I felt thankful that the trip wouldn't take too long

Yeah I remember that summer in Dublin
Indeed, those memories of that summer in Dublin are vivid and cherished

Yeah I remember that summer in Dublin
Indeed, those recollections of my time in Dublin during the summer remain strong
