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
