Making our way to school
The swans on the river made a pretty sight
Making our way to school
Later playing in the park
There were orchards we raided in the dark
Thinking back how good things were those days.
We'd go for a drive around the Curragh Plains
On a Sunday afternoon
And run among the bushes playing games
All afternoon
And when the evening came along
We would go home singing songs
And thinking back how good things were those days
Growing up in Newbridge town.
Liffey flowing gently passing by
And carried me away
Never knowing how everything could change
Since leaving Newbridge town.
Down on the strand where the river turns
And lovers love renew
We'd watched them walking and holding hands
Where flowers and bushes grew
But it all looks different now
It all seems altered now
Or is that the way things look through grown-up eyes
Looking at Newbridge town.
Liffey flowing gently passing by
And carried me away
Never knowing how everything could change
Since leaving Newbridge town.
Crossing the bridge in the morning light Making our way to school The swans on the river made a pretty sight Making our way to school Later playing in the park There were orchards we raided in the dark Thinking back how good things were those days. We'd go for a drive around the Curragh Plains On a Sunday afternoon And run among the bushes playing games All afternoon And when the evening came along We would go home singing songs And thinking back how good things were those days Growing up in Newbridge town. Liffey flowing gently passing by And carried me away Never knowing how everything could change Since leaving Newbridge town. Down on the strand where the river turns And lovers love renew We'd watched them walking and holding hands Where flowers and bushes grew But it all looks different now It all seems altered now Or is that the way things look through grown-up eyes Looking at Newbridge town. Liffey flowing gently passing by And carried me away Never knowing how everything could change Since leaving Newbridge town. Explain Request ×
