Galway Shawl/Strange Glue
At Orenmore, in the County Galway, One pleasant evening in the month of May I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome Her beauty fairly took my breath away. She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds, No paint or powder, no, none at all. But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it And round her shoulder was a Galway Shawl. It was strange glue that held us together While we both came apart at the seams She said, your place or mine While we've still got the time So I played along with her schemes But I dont have the right to be with you tonight So please leave me alone with no saviour in sight I will sleep safe and sound with nobody around me When faced with my demons; I clothe them and feed them And I smile, Yes I smile As they're taking me over And if I cannot sleep SongtexteFor the secrets I keep It's a price I'm willing to meet. For the end of the night never comes too quickly for me And I don't have the right to be with you tonight So please leave me alone with no Savior I will sleep safe and sound with nobody around me When faced with my demons I clothe them and feed them And I smile Yes I smile As they're taking me over And if I cannot sleep For the secrets I keep It's the price I'm willing to seek For the end of the night never comes too quickly for me And I smile For the end of the night never comes too quickly for me And I smile Taking me over She wore no jewels Nor costly diamonds No Paint nor powder No, none at all. She wore a bonnet, With a ribbon on it, And around her shouder, was the Galway Shawl Aus Songtexte Mania
