Galway Town Lyrics - Singles - Blood Or Whiskey

First she came on like a breeze 

She came on like the gales of winter 

Blew my mind and broke my will 

And left me there to die 

Then she broke the spell she'd cast 

The past was always there behind me 

Rolling like the clouds at last 

My dreams were in the sky 

We went down to Galway town 

To see the sights and see the races 

All the things she did and said 

I kept them in my mind 

At the bus stop near the square 

Her hair fell down around her face 

I swore there was no more in store 

I'd nothing left to find 

We went down to Galway Town 

Just to see what might be happening 

We went down to Galway Town 

We went down the mountain side 

We went down to Galway Town 

Just to see what might be happening 

On the streets of Galway Town 

Best place in the world to hide 

We had burgers and some chips 

And the rain it came a falling 

Took a taxi to Salthill 

With bad things in my head 

She was wearing lovely clothes 

The bouncer came and broke my nose 

She said said oh just leave it go 

I swore that he was dead 

In the morning then 

We went to walk along down by the sea shore 

Talking about the night before 

The music that they played 

She said that she wanted home 

And never more the world to roam 

So that day I went away 

And she moved down and stayed 

I was in Croke Park 

One rainy Sunday near the first of August 

Watched the Leinster final 

It was Dublin and Kildare 

They led us a merry dance 

We never even had a chance 

At the side I'd say we tried 

but swore I didn't care 

Some day I'll go back out West 

And see the streets we walked together 

I don't know now where she is 

I don't think that I care 

If it gets too bad around here 

I'll run like hell from all my problems 

If you've got some blues 

I'll tell you, you can lose them there
