lyrics

ST. PATRICK’S SQUARE

CAPO: 3RD
Asus intro/G

1. St. Patrick’s Squares in the heart of town
I wandered down one day
And there I spied the finest girl
I’d ever set eyes upon
She was standing on a stoop
With a baby in her arms
The sunlight caught her hair just so
My heart was forever bound

CHORUS: And she became my lover
And she became my best friend
And we’d wander down the road
Then wander back again
But then one day we parted
Because the arguments had driven her away
And like a fool I let her go
My pride was my pride that day

(instrumental)

2. When I went back and looked for her
She was long gone
Her will as strong as an ox
That carried her along
And her frame was like a willow
In the wind wherever it blew
And I joined a band on the east coast
But I looked for you

3. One day she saw a poster
And she came around
I was travelling with a different crowd
When she first appeared
And she looked so much older
I guess the speed had driven her down
But her smile was the same
And her eyes remained
To dance on whatever, she found

CHORUS: And she became my lover
And she became my best friend
And we’d wander down the road
Then wander back again
But then one day we parted
Because the arguments had driven her away
And like a fool I let her go
My pride was my pride that day

(instrumental)

4. To St. Patricks Square I sometimes go
I stand outside and stare
The last time sent a shiver
I’ll remember to my dying day
She was standing like a phantom
Under the milky moonlight
But when I moved a little closer
There were only shadows
And streetlight

CHORUS: Still I wish she was still my lover
Still I wish she was my best friend
And that we’d wander down the road
Then wander back again
And that we’d never parted
And the arguments driven her away
That she was in my arms right now
Not somewhere far away
Because in St. Patrick’s Square
In St. Patrick’s Square
In St. Patrick’s Square
We would stay
