```text [Intro] Riding a bus from Belfast town Toward the place where green winds blow The sounds of the city fill my heart And Dublin’s morning starts to glow [Verse 1] Dublin, the capital of Ireland Old streets singing brand-new songs Beyond the walls of red brick houses Laughter carries all along The wind crosses the River Liffey Past the Ha’penny Bridge we go City lights are dancing on the water Taking every traveler’s soul The Spire reaches ever higher Pointing to the open sky Watching over us as we wander Standing proud and standing high [Chorus] Dublin’s wind is blowing through me Walking streets I’ve never known Raise a glass of Guinness together And a distant land feels close to home Whiskey scents are slowly drifting As we sing an old refrain Irish nights go on forever Till our hearts fall asleep again [Verse 2] In the middle of O’Connell Street If you walk around with a gloomy face The statue says, “Don’t look so angry” Watching over this busy place Waves of people, sounds of traffic Voices from the past remain Carrying the weight of history As we walk through Dublin again Standing by the Molly Malone statue Almost hear her sing that song Pushing carts through streets of Dublin Her legend still lives on [Chorus] Dublin’s wind is blowing through me Chasing stories from long ago Laughter, voices, streets together Turn the city’s pulse into a song When the Guinness foam is rising All the tiredness fades away With a glass of whiskey in our hands The night still has a lot to say [Verse 3] Dublin Castle’s ancient stone walls Have stood through centuries of rain Kings and people, lives and stories Sleep quietly within their frame Past the castle, round the corner See a little pub aglow Fiddle music through the doorway Calling us into the night [Irish Pub Verse] Steam rises from Irish stew Warmth surrounds our tired bones Potatoes and meat, so simple Melt the distance from our souls Raising pints of dark Guinness Laughing with a stranger near Even when the words are different Songs can make us friends right here [Instrumental Break] Tarara, tarara, hear the whistle play A lively jig makes the night leap away Tarara, tarara, hear the fiddle sing Brilliant footsteps dance and swing Irish dancing, feet are flying Reel-time rhythm fills the room Smiling faces, circles forming Dublin stars begin to bloom [Bridge] Even when we leave this city This melody will stay inside The wind that crosses the River Liffey Whispers, “Come back,” with the tide The Spire reaches ever higher Pointing through the midnight blue Every lost day, every future Leads us to that shining view [Final Chorus] Dublin’s wind is blowing through us We were walking through the town Guinness foam and whiskey evenings Memories that won’t fade down Dublin Castle, Molly Malone Songs engraved in every street Warmth from Irish stew and laughter Still remains inside our hearts [Outro] Someday we will ride that bus back Come to hear the city sing Beyond the Ha’penny Bridge waiting Dublin’s wind will welcome everything Tarara, tarara, hear the whistle play Night falls softly on the green town today The Spire reaches ever higher Pointing toward tomorrow’s fire ```
