[Verse]
Down by the Liffey
Where shadows dwell
Broken glass
Rusted steel
Stories to tell
Factories stand silent
A ghostly parade
Of times when the men built dreams that didn't fade
[Verse 2]
The clatter of hammers
The smoke in the air
Echoes faint whispers of calloused hands' care
Their songs and their laughter
A chorus of pride
Now just memories on the gray river's tide
[Chorus]
Oh
Dublin town
Where have those days gone?
Strong hands and hearts sang life's old song
Walking past the ruins
I hear their name
In each cracked wall and silent frame
[Verse 3]
Now the wind blows cold through shattered pane
The echo of toil lost in time's disdain
But still I remember with each careful tread
The spirit of those who bled and were fed
[Bridge]
In alleyways dark where dreams once ignited
The soul of the laborer stays united
They built more than buildings
They built the lore
Of Dublin town
From the stone to the shore
[Chorus]
Oh
Dublin town
Where have those days gone?
Strong hands and hearts sang life's old song
Walking past the ruins
I hear their name
In each cracked wall and silent frame
