Grafton Street
歌曲：歌手：Dido专辑：《Safe Trip Home》歌词：no more trips to grafton street,
no more goin' 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,
wond'ring 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 goin' 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

地理:Grafton Street欧洲最贵的名街之一，坐落在爱尔兰都柏林市中心，它一条主要的购物步行街。
都柏林的格雷夫顿街(Grafton Street)是最炙手可热的商业街区之一，街道两旁是一家挨一家精品商店和时尚小店。
走在都柏林市中心的最繁华的Grafton Street上，你一定要摘下耳机，跟着音乐漫步。如果天气好你可以享受到多于六七种以上的不同表演，有一些可能轻易听不到的乐器演奏在这你也可以有幸撞上。在这里表演的人来自四面八方，有的来自遥远的过渡，有的面孔你可以常看见，但千万不要小看这些街头一人，因为柏林人有着对音乐的狂热爱好，自然在街头表演也橙了他们展示的一部分，在这一不小心你就可以遇上出名的乐队在表演。无论如果他们那都有一个共同点，演奏时都非常投入就如真正在台上一般，台下的人给予的时认同和掌声。
在都柏林，你可以购买到传统和现代的水晶制品，手工艺品，麻制品，针织品等，像Claddagh的银戒指，艾兰服和精美的Waterford水晶族，都是游客们的最爱。
都柏林的时尚小店大多集中在Grafton Street，同时游客也能在那里找到爱尔兰年轻而有名的设计师的最新作品。
在河的南北沿岸，布满了瑞士百货店，精品店和欧洲时尚品牌的连锁店。离市中心20分钟路程的地方则有许多大型的购物商场。
大多数商店在周一到周六营业的时间是早上9点到晚上6点，而周日则从12点到晚上6点。市中心的商店通常每逢周四会关的比较晚。在市区的则是周五晚上营业到晚些。许多郊区的商店在平日里会推迟开门时间，来自非欧盟国家的游客在购买商品后可申请退税。
