Karaoké Mary's Pub Amble

She put it right between my lips and I bit down with the light

And I asked her had she anything

She handed me a light

And with that light I took a drag and I watched the world go by

You were mine and I was yours and our limit was the sky

And we watched time go by

Well I told her Ask me anything

She asked me how to cry

And when I think of you I know forever I will be happy as the fool because together we are free

Well we cantered on by the statue where once Phil Lynott stood

Met by a scobe being hoisted outside Mary's Pub

He'd never seen the like before

Rare seemed so daft

And the cobbles were lit up by the enchantment of your laugh

And we watched time go by

Well I told her Ask me anything

She asked me how to cry

And when I think of you I know forever I will be happy as the fool because together we are free

Well we watched the buskers play a tune in lower Grafton Street and I tried to grab your finger but I wasn't so discreet

You smiled and braced my hand and pulled me into some old bar

And we drank a drop and we twirled and talked about our lives so far

And we watched time go by

Well I told her Ask me anything

She asked me how to cry

And when I think of you I know forever I will be happy as the fool because together we are free

Well he swallowed down his last drop and began to feel the heat

And he gestured to the barman that it was his time to leave

With a cap upon his head he thought of home in Skibbereen

Said we were the finest couple that his eyes had ever seen

And we watched time go by

Well I told her Ask me anything

She asked me how to cry

And when I think of you I know forever I will be happy as the fool because together we are free

And as she boards her plane back to her home in Amsterdam

She'll study for the year before turning to her land

She said she loves a man and he is stationed far away

With him her precious love she says forever it will stay

And we watched time go by

Well I told her Ask me anything

She asked me how to cry

And when I think of you I know forever I will be happy as the fool because together we are free
