Letra de Marble City Bar

If you ever go to the marble city
Of Kilkenny in the month of May
Remember me to the banks of the river
Where I first noticed I was fading away...
There is a castle with children a-playing
There is a father who will say hello
He doesn't have to- that's just the way he's feeling-
And that's such a long way to go
(Chorus)
Oh don't pick me 'cos I'm not playing
I'm just staring into space
I can't hear a single word you're saying
There's nothing happening behind this face
I'm just a man and I'm on my own
I hear strange news from another star
I'm just a man and I'm on my own
Dreaming of the marble city bar
(Spoken Word)
"He's maybe just left, I'm not sure
I think some saw him just going outside"
Well I crossed the bridge
And I walked down slowly
Through the reeds to the watermill
The sun was cold in the time of losing
I stood all alone in the Irish chill
I was tempted there to take my life
The water flashed by like the blade of a knife
The roar of the river rose up to the sky
And knew nobody would hear my cry...
(Spoken Word)
"Hey Jackie - we were looking for you
You'll catch your death out here
And your beer's getting cold -
So why don't you come back in?"
(Chorus)
