Take me away from the city
Lead me to where I can be on my own
I wanted to see you and now that I have
I just wanna to be left alone
I'll always remember your kind words
I'll still remember your name
Cause I've seen you changing and turning
And I know things won't be the same
I remember that summer in Dublin and the Liffey as it stank like hell
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Everybody looking so well
I was singing a song I'd heard somewhere
Called 'Rock 'n' roll Never Forgets
My hummin' was smothered by a 46a
And the scream of a low flying jet
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
When on the bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't goin' too far
So I'm leavin' on Wednesday morning
And tryin' to find a place where I can hear
The tunes of the birds and the sea on the rocks
And where ocean roads always are near
Sometimes I tire of the quiet
And I wanna walk back up that hill
I'll just get on the road and stick out my thumb
And I know you'll always 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
Everybody looking so well
I was singing a song I'd heard somewhere
Called Rock 'n' roll Never Forgets
My hummin' was smothered by a 46a
And the scream of a low flying jet
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
Stoppin' off to pick up my guitar
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't goin' too far
Yeah I remember that summer in Dublin
Yeah I remember that summer in Dublin
