lyrics

The streets of New York could be cold in the winter
There's a million foot prints in the snow
An old man roasting chestnuts and a young uilleann piper
He plays so easy and slow
And all the young lovers will pull up in taxis
For flowers to make their love last
White rose for new love, red rose for true love
Violets for love of the past

The young piper's family, they come from Buncrana
He knows places that she used to know
It sounds so familiar, it might have been yesterday
Although it's a lifetime ago
She remembers her true love the night that she left
and the tears as they saw each other part
White rose for new love, red rose for true love
Violets for love of the past

The world is a small place in New York at Christmas
Everybody's everybody's friend
She sells all the flowers that she finds, buying a ticket
to go back to Buncrana again
And all the young lovers will pull up in taxis
For flowers to make their love last
White rose for new love, red rose for true love
Violets for love of the past

She returned on vacation to visit relations
and the lover she left standing on the quay
But now he wears a band of gold on a finger she once thought her own
Disheartened once more she must be
She might have liked to stay but her memory would betray
those wounds deep within her heart
The wind blew on Galway Bay, once more she must sail away
Violets for love of the past

And all the young lovers will pull up in taxis
For flowers to make their love last
White rose for new love, red rose for true love
Violets for love of the past
For love of the past
