Lyrics
(Winter coming, Winter push on, push on
Winter push on, Winter, is so long, Winter move on)
The last night on Maudlin Street Goodbye house, goodbye stairs I was born here and I was raised here And I took some stick here
Love at first sight may sound trite But it's true, you know I could list the detail of everything You ever wore or said, or how you stood the day
As we spent the last night on Maudlin Street, "Goodbye house-forever!" I never stole a happy hour around here
Where the world's ugliest boy Became what you see - I am the ugliest man Oh, the last night on Maudlin Street Truly I do love you Oh, truly I do love you
When I sleep with that picture of you framed beside my bed Oh, it's childish and it's silly, but I think it's you in my room by the bed - Yes, I told you it was silly - And I know I took strange pills But I never meant to hurt you Oh, truly I love you
Came home late one night Everyone had gone to bed But you know no one stays up for you I had sixteen stitches all around my head
Oh, the last bus I missed to Maudlin Street So, he drove me home in the van Complaining: "Women only like me for my mind..."
Don't leave your torch behind A power-cut ahead 1972, you know And so we crept through the park No, I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline for you
But you...without clothes Oh, I could not keep a straight face Me without clothes? Well, a nation turns its back and gags I'm packed
I am moving house A half-life disappears today With every hag waves me on secretly wishing me gone Well, I will be soon, oh - I will be soon I will be soon I will be soon I will be soon I will be soon I will be soon I will be soon
There were bad times on Maudlin Street They took you away in a police car Inspector - don't you know? Don't you care? Don't you know about Love?
Your Gran died and your Mother died on Maudlin Street In pain and ashamed with never time to say those special things I took the keys from Maudlin Street Well, it's only bricks and mortar! Truly I love you Wherever you are Wherever you are Wherever you are I hope you're singing now I do hope... I hope you're singing now
