Mary's Pub - Amble

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

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 his being hoisted be and hight 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

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

Swallowed down his last drop

Began to feel the heat

And he gestured to the bar man

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

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

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

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
