Dublin Bay, Christmas Day

I’m never gonna get you home
The sky’s like steel, baby you don’t even feel the cold
And I know I’m gonna feel the cold
My blood runs blue and it’s breaking up a heart of stone
You’re looking brand new to me
Your hair turned black in the drag of the bitter sea
My body’s got a lot to learn
I’m gonna drench my skin, take away the sin of the world

And maybe I can feel it
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria

December came dashing in
Ice-white stars, the slice of the winter wind
Made me feel ill-at-ease
Used-up songs, the wrong kind of memories
But I took it through the old routine
Stringing up lights, trying to keep it evergreen
‘Cause that’s the loving thing to do
I’m gonna stand in the sting of the sea
I’m gonna make it new

And then I’m gonna feel it
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria

I know I’m gonna feel it
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
I know I wanna feel it, Gloria
