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 smile
Me over

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
