Galway To Graceland

(album: Dreamers And Believers - 2012)

Oh she dressed in the dark and she whispered amen
She was pretty in pink like a young girl again

Twenty years married and she never thought twice
She sneeked out the door And walked into the night

And silver wings carried her over the sea
From the west coast of Ireland to West Tennessee
To be with her sweetheart, she left every thing
From Galway to Graceland to be with the king

She was humming "Suspicion" that's the song she liked best
She had Elvis I Love You Tattooed on her breast

As they landed in Memphis, her heart beat so fast
She'd dreamed for so long, Now she'd see him at last

She was down by his graveside day after day
Come closing time they would pull her away
To be with her sweetheart, she'd left every thing
From Galway to Graceland to be with the king

They came in their thousands from the whole human race
To pay their respects at his last resting place

But quietly she knelt there and she told him her dreams
She thought that he answered Or that's how it seemed

Then they dragged her away it was handcuffs this time
She said my good man are you out of your mind?

Don't you know that we're married? See I'm wearing his ring
From Galway to Graceland to be with the king
I've come from Galway to Graceland to be with the king
