I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I’m losing steam with grief and disbelief how tables turn, I’m reeling, Washes full of tears, like a year within the night Hey you! With my heart, how can I lick up the wound that’s tearing my side Hey You! With my heart, how can I lick up the wound that’s tearing my side Just a few hours in my heart before it’s breaking, I can’t tell you that I love you or I’ll break it, But I know what’s coming down the line for my heart so I can’t say that I love you I’m losing steam with grief and disbelief how tables turn, I’m reeling, Washes full of tears, like a year within the night Hey you! With my heart, how can I lick up the wound that’s tearing my side Hey You! With my heart, how can I lick up the wound that’s tearing my side Just a few hours in my heart before it’s shaking, I can’t tell you that I love you or I’ll break it, But I know what’s coming down the line, So I can’t say that I love you. Galway Boy She was serene when there were wigs in the green When it was complicated she let him be But she ruled as easy as water off a little duck’s back For posterity she built a sanctuary she sings Galway Boy I love you, My eyes are wide for you, I delight in the fire in you, I smile when I think of you. Galway Boy I’d side for you, Your guises I’d bind for you, Your ideas I’d hold true, Your expounding I’d listen to.

Will your soul sooth over the toil in you My Love, or will the pain ever soften? If I lose you tonight My Love, Will your heaving lull within? Will you eclipse the toil within your heart My Love Or will your soul build a haven? If I lose you tonight My Love, Will you hold fort around the blue? Will you guard the wall around your heart my love Is there a furrow left to step through. I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake If I lose you tonight My Love, Will the sombre dispel and thin? Will the sadness behind your eyes weave My Love, And let a crevice small to begin? If I lose you tonight My Love, Will you ever know my toil within? Will you ever know the ache inside my soul And that your aching is familiar? For I moulded a furrow small, I furrowed more till the crevice tilled, A chink of airy light began to fill My Love, To fill the sombre heart again. I won’t lose you tonight My Love, I won’t leave your furrow untilled, I won’t leave you tonight My Love, Until the airy ray has broken in I won’t leave you tonight My Love, I won’t leave your furrow untilled, I won’t leave you tonight My Love, Until the airy ray has broken in Moment After the moment you’re shot down, Like a haze-inducing drown Will you eat humble pie and turn a blind eye, Oh now, The elephant’s in the room, fairytale is askew, I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake And kind words can only frame the rough and tumble of a harsh game, you thought was Music to your ears before it was revealed that You’re not in the role of gate-keeper But after you renew comes A moment out of the blue. After the moment you’re knocked down Like a haze inducing crown Ah but faces were light for you , How great a fighter were you You were lured by the sight of, you caught yourself smiling and Well meaning words can only frame, The rough and tumble of a harsh game you thought was Music to your ears before it was revealed that You’re not in the role of gate-keeper But mountains move to bring a moment out of the blue. After the moment you’re struck down Like a haze inducing crown You were king of the town, you were laughing renowned you, Now you were hanging onto compliments, remembering talk of you And sugar-coating won’t explain the rough and tumble of this harsh game you thought was Music to your ears before it was revealed that You’re not in the role of gate-keeper But after you renew comes a moment out of the blue And mountains move to bring a moment out of the blue. a moment out of the blue a moment out of the blue Every Inch A Woman Catherina so fine of a glorious time irrefutably she was blessed Her intricate designs she surpassed showing signs that she’d wander North, South East and West. She was every inch a woman who revelled in every pictorial might, She was every inch a woman with numerous various riches in sight. By a fast country mile she excelled time and time Word began to spread with tales of splendiferous merit I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake She was every inch a woman, a sparkling, magnificent luminous gem, She was every inch a woman, spell-binding and blossoming, shining within. Catherina so fine at this glorious time, in Glasgow she chanced upon Sally Sally was sweet and Sally was chic, devotees around her were many. A small envy began in the luminous gem, but so small Catherina could quell it, And day after day as she wished it away, she discovered she couldn’t allay it. She was every inch a woman but darkness was growing and growing within, She was every inch a woman but oh a great blackness so quickly set in. Catherina so fine of a beautiful mind, no intricate designs were appearing Intertwined in a mind was a scourge of a bind, an envy that made her so weary. Catherina so fine of a beautiful mind, her intricate designs had waned over time She was every inch a woman but darkness kept growing and growing within, She was every inch a woman no longer a sparkling magnificent gem. She was every inch a woman but darkness had grown and grown within, She was every inch a woman no longer a sparkling magnificent gem.

So will I hold love and let it drum Or live a hard love or sad love numb Or sit in cries of a rapid zest Or like the cries, the cries, the cries of this imperfect love. I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake But as the echoes bellow long down down deep When the twilight rolls down deep As the parting song is sung down deep With the chiming casting tolls Will have taken love and let it swell Will I have dwarfed love or let it dwell Will I have dealt love without a rein Will I have carried, carried, carried this imperfect love. ‘Cause whether whimsical or plain down deep, And whether quick or true down Or only fleeting moments it’s a gift A great imperfect love ‘Cause whether whimsical or plain down deep, And whether quick or true down Or only fleeting moments it’s a gift A great imperfect love. This love has come now and yes it’s true, This love is here now no less a hue, And let it come now, a relished thing, And let it ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring this imperfect love
