In Oranmore, 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 worn no jewels, nor costly diamonds No paint nor powder, no none at all She worn a bonnet with a ribbon on it And around her shoulder was the 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 don't 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 for the secrets I keep It's the price I'm willing to meet The end of the night never comes too quickly for me ♪ But I don't have the right to be with you tonight So please leave me alone with no saviour 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 see The end of the night never comes too quickly for me But I smile The end of the night never comes too quickly for me But I smile Me over ♪ She worn no jewels, nor costly diamonds No paint nor powder, no none at all She worn a bonnet with a ribbon on it And around her shoulder was the Galway shawl ♪ Thank you Well, we've come to the end, really, of our show And now, to go Pagan, which may be the right way to go, after all To the ocean
