Woke in the morning, alarm clock is broken again The dole office ringing, missed my appointment at ten I got on me clothes, the bus is delayed It's always a struggle for me to get paid That's the way, that it goes
I never imagined I'd grow up the way that I did The hopes and the dreams that we had when we all were kids We'd run through the valley, hang 'round at the shops Throwing our stones and our guff at the cops That's the way, that's the way that it goes.
Wont you carry me home Where everything's easier Where the birds sing our song And we'll sing along In Dublin City
Wont you carry me home Where everything's easier Where the birds sing our song It's where we belong In Dublin City
I'm older now but my mind it stays back in thoses times The market on Sundays, the rings of the churches bell chimes Although I have left, it stays with me still The echoes of Dublin, the roar on the hill That's the way, that's the way that it goes
It's the way that you feel when you're looking through empty old eyes The boy that you were is all grown up and said his goodbyes' But the memories of everything that we have done still remain They're the only thing left in this world that's keeping me sane
Life's offered me things, most of them good I'll agree If I could go back, wouldn't change all that much, it made me And when I come home we'll do it again Grab a few pints, just say where and when That's the way, that's the way that it goes
