Postcards - Orla Gartland (original)

I don't usually write songs this personal. Oh well, please don't slay me! But its hard to feel vulnerable in the place where I filmed this, Inis Meáin, an island off the West Coast of Ireland, a.k.a Paradise.

lyrics__
This guy could save the world with both hands behind his back
And still emerge with ten times the courage that others lack

I'm sick of wallowing here in my own self pity
Feet in the countryside, head in the city

Tall buildings bright lights bright cars,
But more importantly more importantly that's where you are

I'll send you postcards from my head,
Thinking bout you while my cheeks go red

You're not a ghost but you feel like one right now
But you can haunt me if you like


CHORUS
I need some help to complete this task,
Want you here beside me is that too much to ask?
I'm haunted here, without you dear,
I'll tell you this as I whisper in your ear and say,
There's always another day

Someone once said, that a story once told
That these streets these streets are paved with gold
But unless you're standing on them, or sitting on your throne
They mean nothing to me, nothing to me, nothing but stone

Maybe you'll never know just how i feel,
Maybe you'll never know maybe thats the appeal
But walls look weird without you sitting on top
Never meant to start and now I can't stop


You're not a ghost but you feel like one right now
But you can haunt me if you like


I need some help to complete this task,
Want you here beside me is that too much to ask?
I'm haunted here, without you dear,
I'll tell you this as I whisper in your ear and say,
There's always another day


If you always go slow than you'll probably never fall
but if you never go fast than you'll never feel tall
If you always go slow than you'll never get hurt,
but if you never go fast you'll never feel on top of the world x2


You're not a ghost
But you can haunt me if you like


I need some help to complete this task,
Want you here beside me is that too much to ask?
I'm haunted here, without you dear,
I'll tell you this as I whisper in your ear and say,
There's always another day

This sounds like a love song but its not,
Cause in the end, the girl gets caught
And will they be together in the end
Well I wish I could tell you that my friend

A good musician has only but a few good comments.

A great musician will have covers of her song.

An awesome musician will make others feel the need to learn the guitar.
