Back To My Old Place

It wouldn’t be Dublin if I wasn’t late 
And somewhere under the covers is a man I’d like to date
And I think of him as I sit in this sojourn
Do I always have to mourn
It’s been ten years since we talked
A decade since I walked
My boots down the road
And everything slowed
Down, how do I get away
I cover my ears so I don’t hear what you say
Because you tell me that it’s over, over the hill
And I know that you would kill
Just to feel alive
But somewhere in the dive
You found the water you wanted
You tell me and I can’t say that I amn’t daunted
By the weight of your magnitudinous pain
And I just stand out in the rain
So I can feel it on my skin
But I never felt him
Move with the beat
Touched his face when we’re feet to feet
And somewhere in a daydream, diamond true
I think that I found you
For a reason
And for a season
That lasted three hours long
I was the ocean in which you drown
