"Just For Today" lyrics

Mommy was a black-haired drinker
It shamed her into thinking
She was less than all the rest
Says the lady selling flowers
Was looking very sour
She's getting no proposals
Cause there's no one buying roses
On Grafton Street this morning
You crossed the road too soon
The siren's spinning blue

And it's good to be free today
It's good to be free today, yeah
It's good to be free today
From remorse and the things
That would plague me in the past
Well it's good to be free just for today

Paddy is a workaholic
He says emotions overwhelm
The moment he sits down for dinner
I told him I had been to bed late
You make the chaos cozy
Until it can be expelled
And we have stories to tell
Like Little Loud on Henry Street
His breakdancing to heavy beats
I watch him rise and find his feet
And get lost in the music

And it's good to be free today
It's good to be free today
It's good to be free today
From remorse and the things
That would haunt me in the past
It's so good to be free just for today

And it's good to be free today
From remorse and the things
That would haunt me in the past
So good to be free just for today
