sidewalk in Galway (rewrite 1)

I am playing on a sidewalk in Galway

I am a million miles from home

nobody is paying attention

my songs are all unknown

but I'll keep on playing

it's what I was born to do

and if no one listens to me

I'll pretend I'm singing to you

there are people here in Galway

but they pass by without a sound

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 pretend I'm 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 pretend I'm singing to you

I'll pretend I'm singing to you
