In This Fair City
(D.Ward-Murphy)
It’s 3 o’clock on a Monday morning,
the night was stealing the time.
It’s raining hard and I should be sleeping
but the people here are playing with my mind.
Oh, in this fair city,
there’s no one around as I sing by the Liffey
and oh, I’ve got to get you out of my mind.
Oh, in this fair city,
there’s no one around as I sing by the Liffey
and oh, I’ve got to get you out of my mind.
Baby I’m drowning and blind.
It’s so good that inside I’m aching,
there’s not enough hours in the day.
Shoot me now so I can’t go leaving
and take this feeling away.
Oh, in this fair city,
there’s no one around as I sing by the Liffey
and oh, I’ve got to get you out of my mind.
Oh, in this fair city,
there’s no one around as I sing by the Liffey
and oh, I’ve got to get you out of my mind.
Baby I’m drowning and blind.
If beauty’s in the eye of the beholder I’m holding on to you
behold this thought I’m falling through your eyes I can see the sky again.
If beauty’s in the eye of the beholder I’m holding on to you
behold this thought I’m falling through your eyes I can see so high,
so come and be a star in my night sky.
Oh, in this fair city,
there’s no one around as I sing by the Liffey
and oh, I’ve got to get you out of my mind.
Oh, in this fair city,
there’s no one around as I sing by the Liffey
and oh, I’ve got to get you out of my mind.
Baby I’m drowning and blind.
Let’s go all the way,
I want you to show me,
I want you to show me.
