Sally Port Paddy

Words and Music by Gary "gman" Wesselhoff

1) When Paddy takes her pill,
she starts another day.
Theres Latte, and IB, and shower steam,
to get back to that good good-day thing
Sun comes up, streams through the clouds
Radio Samba playing loud
Cant wait to board that train
cause Paddy feels no pain
uh-huh

2) The others on the outside
cant seem to break her stride.
Paddys got a secret that she cant share
It saves her from her dark dark despair
Tropical rhythm steel drum band
Footprints washing in the sand
Deep Sleep neath a coconut tree
Sail upon a summer breeze

Bridge
Nowhere a million miles away
from the world she left behind
reality resigned
from the daily grind
Somewhere away from anywhere
common sense declined
Paddys life consigned
a word so damned unkind

3) Well then one day it all was real
It had that funky kind of feel
No reason to ever get out of bed
official report was Paddy was brain dead
sailed off somewhere warm and kind
slice of paradise in her mind
there was nowhere left to go
but swim out to the dolphin show
