The Streets Of Galway

Where’s shelter from the past as a slow sad air it breaks you? 
I wander slowly, surely, to nights that you passed through me.
Night falls so uncertain as daylight fades away,
I crowd around this bedside lamp waiting for a simple day. 
Hamlin’s children stolen, a future years away. 
Some strange box has opened, piper take me away.
Ah we left before we came on alleys sheltered from rain.

We left before we came upon the streets of Galway...

Images come thick and thin they fall like steady rain. 
Certain as the seasons they stumble on your name.
All feels so uncertain when daylight fades away 
Round and round a bedside lamp waiting for a simple day.
Images come thick and thin pounding like a train.
Pounding through the silence towards the streets of Galway.
Ah we left before we came on alleys sheltered from rain.

We left before we came upon the streets of Galway...

I saw you all over Dublin town ‘til I watched you board a train, 
It was headed for a western town everywhere I turned absence remained.
Ah we left before we came…..
