sidewalk in Galway (rewrite 2)

I am playing guitar on a sidewalk in Galway

I am a million miles from home

nobody is paying attention

my songs are all unknown

but I keep on playing

it's what I was born to do

and if no one hears me

I'll be singing to you

there are people here in Galway

but none of them ever slow down

no money in my guitar case

I'm trying to stand my ground

they weren't here when I started

they won't be here when I'm through

and if no one bothers to listen

I'll be singing to you

I remember you from Donegal

I remember your sweet smile

I remember laughing in the morning

I guess it's been a long, long while

I don't need no other audience

you alone will do

and if no one here needs me

I'll be singing to you

I'll be singing to you
