"Grafton Street" adalah sebuah mahakarya dari penyanyi Dido yang menyentuh hati. Lagu ini berkisah tentang hubungan yang hancur dan rasa kehilangan yang mendalam. Liriknya yang puitis dan melodi yang menyayat hati menciptakan suasana melankolis yang beresonansi dengan pendengar yang pernah mengalami patah hati. Liriknya yang sederhana namun kuat melukiskan perasaan putus asa dan penerimaan saat penyanyi melepaskan diri dari cengkeraman masa lalu dan menemukan kekuatan untuk menjalani hidup tanpanya.
Grafton Street Lyrics
Dido
No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more going' there,
To see you lying still,
While we all come and go.
No more watching sunsets,
It seems like summer's holding on.
And no more standing quietly at your window.
No more driving down your road,
Wondering when you'll be home.
And no more peace when they all leave
And leave us two alone.
And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know we're losing but I will stand here by you.
No more calling friends from the car saying "I don't know when,
I'll be there but I'll do my best to come."
No more letting you warm my hands,
No more trying to take it in.
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know you're leaving but I will stand here by you.
No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more going' there,
No more sitting up all night,
Waiting for any word.
Nothing's left that's safe here now,
Nothing will bring you home
Nothing can bring us the peace
We had in Grafton Street.
No more going' there,
To see you lying still,
While we all come and go.
No more watching sunsets,
It seems like summer's holding on.
And no more standing quietly at your window.
No more driving down your road,
Wondering when you'll be home.
And no more peace when they all leave
And leave us two alone.
And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know we're losing but I will stand here by you.
No more calling friends from the car saying "I don't know when,
I'll be there but I'll do my best to come."
No more letting you warm my hands,
No more trying to take it in.
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know you're leaving but I will stand here by you.
No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more going' there,
No more sitting up all night,
Waiting for any word.
Nothing's left that's safe here now,
Nothing will bring you home
Nothing can bring us the peace
We had in Grafton Street.
