Lyrics
This song is different (Irish) and might not be everyone’s go to song, but it came from a vision I really wanted to bring to life.
Ed Sheeran has always been a huge inspiration to me, there’s something so raw, honest, emotional but also modern about his music. I took some inspiration from Galway Girl while making this, and I hope it connects with you in some way. If it’s not for you, that's fine too.
Much love and thanks for listening 💞
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Verse 1)
I slipped through the doorway just trying to get warm,
Hair dripping wet from a Galway storm.
I wasn’t looking for sparks or any grand plan
Then I caught his smile…
oh my, this Galway man.
He had that soft-guy charm with a dangerous grin,
Like he already guessed the trouble I’d be in.
He said, “Come here, love, before the night gets out of hand,”
And suddenly I’m blushing
for this Galway man.
(Pre-Chorus)
Then the fiddle kicked off,
and he pulled me in,
My heart beating louder
than the drums and the din.
He whispered something low
that I barely understand
but it melted right through me,
this Galway man.
(Chorus)
Oh, we danced all night with his lips near mine,
Heart skipping beats every single time.
One touch from him and I could hardly stand
He stole every breath,
this Galway man.
(Verse 2)
He said he wakes with the sunrise every day,
Swears the harbour looks golden in that early haze.
But the way he looked at me…
that’s where it began
Something warm and wild
in this Galway man.
He brushed my fingers lightly as he bought my drink,
Smiling like he knew
exactly what I’d think.
And the more he laughed,
the more my body ran
hotter than the fire
For this Galway man.
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh the music was wild,
but he held me slow,
Like he wanted me closer
than I’d ever let show.
And his voice dipped soft
as he tightened his hand
breaking all the rules
of my careful plan.
(Chorus)
Oh, we danced all night with his lips near mine,
Heart skipping beats every single time.
One touch from him and I could hardly stand
He stole every breath,
this Galway man.
(Bridge)
He whispered, “Stay a while, love, don’t rush away,”
And I swear my whole chest
nearly gave way.
If he’d leaned in again,
I’d have kissed him on command
no thinking, or fear
just me and this man.
(Final Chorus)
Oh, we danced ’til dawn like the world stood still,
His hands on my waist like they always will.
And if falling’s a risk, well I’ll take what I can
’Cause I’m hopelessly,
helplessly
lost in my Galway man.
