sidewalk in Galway

I am playing on a sidewalk in Galway

I am a million miles from home

nobody is listening to me

my songs are all unknown

but you know 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 just for you

just for you

there are people here in Galway

but they pass by without a sound

they don't mind that I am playing, though

I stand on solid ground

they weren't here when I started

they won't be here when I'm through

and if no one pays attention

I'll pretend I'm singing just for you

just for you

thank you for your time, miss

I appreciate that you stopped

and listened to my sad song

from a lonely mountaintop

I don't need no other audience

you alone will do

and if no one needs a sad song

I'll pretend I'm singing just for you

just for you

I'll pretend I'm singing just for you
