Blood Or Whiskey

Galway Town

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
