Sallyport Paddy Lyrics

Sally Port Paddy



Words and Music by Gary "gman" Wesselhoff



1) When Paddy takes her pill,

she starts another day.

There’s Latte, and IB, and shower steam,

to get back to that good
good-day thing

Sun comes up, streams through the clouds

Radio Samba
playing loud

Can’t wait to board that train

‘cause Paddy feels no
pain

uh-huh



2) The others on the outside

can’t seem to
break her stride.

Paddy’s got a secret that she can’t share

It saves
her from her dark dark despair

Tropical rhythm steel drum band

Footprints washing in the sand

Deep Sleep ‘neath a coconut tree

Sail upon a summer breeze



Bridge

Nowhere a million miles
away

from the world she left behind

reality resigned

from the
daily grind

Somewhere away from anywhere

common sense declined

Paddy’s life consigned

a word so damned unkind



3) Well
then one day it all was real

It had that funky kind of feel

No
reason to ever get out of bed

official report was Paddy was brain
dead

sailed off somewhere warm and kind

slice of paradise in her
mind

there was nowhere left to go

but swim out to the dolphin
show
