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
