Winter coming   Winter push on   Push on   Oh, winter push on   Winter is so long   Winter moves on      The last night on Maudlin Street   Goodbye house, goodbye stairs   I was born here and I was raised here   And I took some stick here      Love at first sight, may sound trite   But it's true, you know, I could list the detail of everything   You ever wore or said or how you stood the day   As we spent the last night on Maudlin Street   Goodbye house forever   I never stole a happy hour, around here      Adam was ugliest boy   He became what you see I am   The ugliest man   Oh, the last night on Maudlin Street      Truly I do love you   Oh, truly I do love you      When I sleep with that picture of you framed   Beside my bed   Oh, it's childish and it's silly   But I think it's you in my room by the bed   Yes, I told you it was silly and I know   I took strange pills but I never meant to hurt you      Oh, oh truly I love you      Came home late once, everyone had gone to bed   But you know no one stays up for you   I had sixteen stitches all around my hand   Oh, the last bus I missed to Maudlin Street   So he drove me home in the van   Complaining, "Women only like me for my mind"      Don't leave your torch behind   A power cut ahead, 1972, you know   And so we clipped through the park   No I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothes line for you   But you without clothes, oh, I could not keep the straight face   Me without clothes, well a nation turns its back and gags and packs      I am moving house, a half life disappears today   With every hand waves me on   Secretly wishing me gone now   Well I will be soon      Oh, listen, listen   Oh, listen, listen   Oh, listen, listen   Oh, listen, listen      There were bad times on Maudlin Street   They took you away in a police car   Inspector, "Don't you know? Don't you care?   Don't you know about law?"      Your gran died and your mother died on Maudlin Street   In pain and ashamed with never time to say   Special farewell, I took the key from Maudlin Street   Well it's only bricks and mortar      Oh, oh truly I love you, oh   Wherever you are, wherever you are   Wherever you are, I hope you're singing now   Oh I do, I, I hope you're singing now, ooh
