If you ever go to the marble city
Of Kilkenny in the month of May
Remember me to the bank 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
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
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 rive rose up to the sky
And I knew nobody would hear my cry…
‘Hey Jackie – we were looking for you
You’ll catch your death out here,
And your beers getting cold –
So why don’ t you come back in?’
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
