"BT45" lyrics

Every night all the cars would race under my window
Back when the letters would read BT45
I'd lie awake and just stare at the posters on my wall
Of cityscapes and old guitars and bands I loved and music halls

Oh look what we did
I think we found
Everything we said we would find
But now and again
When it starts raining
I'm not complaining

But I know I left my heart in Ireland
Where my people still reside
There in that house below the hill
Where I grew up
Where I wish I was still
Oh what I'd give to be there tonight

See, my dad was a grocer just keeping the family tradition
And my mother, she came from the city but you couldn't tell, no
My sisters and I, we had everything we could have ever needed
The best days of my life were the ones that I spent with them

Oh look what we did
I think we found
Everything we said we would find
But now and again
When it starts raining
I'm not complaining

But I know I left my heart in Ireland
Where my people still reside
There in that house below the hill
Where I grew up
Where I wish I was still
Oh what I'd give to be there tonight

Said I know I left my heart in Ireland
Where my people still reside
There in that house below the hill
Where I grew up
Where I wish I was still
Oh what I'd give to be there tonight
