Blood Or Whiskey Galway Town Lyrics

Galway Town Lyrics

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
