Merrion Road

Merrion Road is a major road, part of the R118, in Dublin 4.

At Merrion Gates it meets Strand Road (R131) just after the latter crosses the DART line.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Relate To

    by: Maren Ord

    You stroll along
    Retrace your footsteps
    You see a child
    He's left alone
    Alone to stay
    Alone with no one there to play
    You recall your childhood
    Still lonesome today
    chorus
    All he wanted was a friend
    Someone he could talk to
    Relate to
    You attempt to reach
    but then you look away
    Nothing's accomplished
    Two shadows fade
    What to grow as?
    What will you grow up to become?
    Where are these answers?
    Oh they'll come along
    chorus
    You wonder why you're still alone
    You cry all night on your roof top
    What are you hiding?
    Is it something I must know?
