Brooklyn

[Verse 1] I woke up miles away from home In a cheap hotel, I was on my own Across the bridge, I could see the lights of Brooklyn The traffic on those New York streets The yellow taxis underneath The shadows of the ever-growing skyline [Chorus] I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay But there ain't no place I'd rather be than Brooklyn Oh, Brooklyn [Verse 2] And out my window, I can see A homeless man with cardboard sheets As people go 'bout their daily business But nothing's ever as it seems In this growing land of broken dreams It's dog-eat-dog and nothing lasts forever [Chorus] And I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay But there ain't no place I'd rather be than Brooklyn Oh, Brooklyn Yeah, Brooklyn Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] And I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay But there ain't no place I'd rather be Than Brooklyn, oh, Brooklyn [Outro] I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay (There ain't no place I'd rather be) I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay I'm a hundred thousand miles away From Grafton Street and Dublin Bay But there ain't no place I'd rather be There ain't no place I'd rather be Than Brooklyn Oh, Brooklyn, yeah
