Lyrics
Well I almost didn't know him I nearly passed him by It took us both a moment To get over our surprise And we hugged each other clumsily And laughed a bit too long As the shoppers on South Anne Street hurried on I said I'd heard that he was married And living overseas He said he'd seen my posters On a billboard near his street And he'd heard about what happened And we both just looked away And headed from South Anne Street to McDaid's Where we drank for ancient love for hours an end Raised our glasses to remember absent friends And we drank to chance encounters too long overdue On South Anne Street on a Tuesday afternoon And it felt just like it used to Like we've never been apart Like back when we were students On a bench in College Park And I felt something deep inside me I really can't explain In a pub beside South Anne Street in the rain And we drank for ancient love for hours an end Raised our glasses to remember absent friends And we drank to chance encounters too long overdue On South Anne Street on a Tuesday afternoon We embraced before we parted To walk into the night With a complicated sadness At this complicated life Oh, ships passing in the night Occasionally meet At the corner of South Anne and Grafton Street And we drank for ancient love for hours an end Raised our glasses to remember absent friends And we drank to chance encounters too long overdue On South Anne Street on a Tuesday afternoon And we drank for ancient love for hours an end Raised our glasses to remember absent friends Oh and sometimes if I'm lonely and I'm walking on my own I'll detour down South Anne Street going home
