Independent Girl - live, 2008

--------------------------------------
She said to me that there was no need to speak
On her behalf if even I heard them laugh
Behind her back as she turned
To face the world; an independent girl.

She said to me with some dignity
That I stole her heart across a table
Of some fancy place & at a comfortable pace
She believed I was able
To steal more than a kiss from a wish that I made to myself
More that a wish from the lips of somebody else

She said to me that her love was real & that mine just a fable
What could I do when faced with the truth
But pretend I could save it
Offering up nothing more than I could afford
Offering up nothing more than words heard before.

Seems, we all fall down in the first love
we all fall down in the first love
& wed come so far.

These Lonely nights I look inside
I see my own heart burning
Over the fires of love and desires
I cant sleep at night without turning
Dreams into something more real, sometimes it hurts
Trying to deny fantasy sometimes is worse.

Seems, we all fall down in the first love
we all fall down in the first love
& wed come so far.


[Outro]

She said to me that there was no need to speak
On her behalf if even I heard them laugh
Behind her back as she turned
To face the world, an independent girl.

Ciaran Flynn is said to sound like Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, Tom Waits, Christy Moore, Damien Dempsey and Bob Dylan.
Imagine that!
