Amelia Coburn - Dublin Serenade Lyrics

Daybreak and we're greeted
By an impish old chap
He tells us there's a bar here
Puts Dublin on the map
Tiptoe to the basement
There's Irish craic galore
A certain kind of magic
Behind the cellar door

Prowling down the alleys
The night is so sweet
The city's got rhythm
I can feel it in my feet
Pass upon the cellar
Where the Guinness goes quite cheap
The door is ajar
The city asleep

Let the midnight glow enfold you
Let it take your arms and hold you
And lay your sleepy head against the sky
Here's a man who sings so gently
Behind our pints we gaze intently
Enchanted by a Dublin serenade

Cynical and tipsy
Our expectations low
But the warmth is so inviting
And we've nowhere else to go
I hear a voice a-callin'
Like a siren from the bay
Charming and bewitching me
By a melody he plays

Everybody's silent
They listen to the man
Delicately plucking
And I'm instantly a fan
A sentimental tune that feel so close to me
Reminiscent of the records
I've loved so tenderly

Let the midnight glow enfold you
Let it take your arms and hold you
And lay your sleepy head against the sky
Here's a man who sings so gently
Behind our pints we gaze intently
Enchanted by a Dublin serenade

As darkness casts her shadow
The gentleman casts his spell
Candles flicker but you
You're out like a light
So tonight I think
You should

Let the midnight glow enfold you
Let it take your arms and hold you
And lay your sleepy head against the sky
Here's a man who sings so gently
Behind our pints we gaze intently
Enchanted by a Dublin serenade
