Текст песни: Baggot Street + перевод

When I told her that I loved her, she said I must be mad

But still and all when she’d recall all the times we had

With the way that things were going

She might just take a chance

And in the word I thought I heard an echo of romance

Chorus: Did the echo quickly fade, or do you recall as well

We used to meet on Baggot Street beside the old hotel

The 16A would pull away and leave that diesel smell

And you’d be standing there by that Baggot Street hotel

It didn’t last that long and I never thought it would

When I’m looking back now I don’t see how it could

It’s just pictures in my head like graffiti on a wall

Some are washed away with rain ‘til they’re hardly there at all

And then that day we made our way down by the Liffeyside

In a bar twe had a jar and watched the rain outside

We said whatever happened we’d always be good friends

In a cigarette and friendship that’s the way the whole world ends

We finished up our pints and we paid the barman’s bill

Walked back up the Liffet in the silence and the chill

At O’Connell Bridge we went our ways

We said we’d be in touch

I supposed you said goodbye, I don’t think I said much

And on that day I heard you say the world was wide and I

Would find someone far better and I didn’t need to try

But still at times when I lie down I’ll dream and start to dance

With the long-gone ghost of Baggot Street

And an echo of romance
