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
