Orla Gartland - Postcards Lyrics
This guy could save the world with two 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, fast cars
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
I need some help to complete this task
Want you here beside me, is that too much to ask?
I'm haunted here, I'm haunted here without you dear
I'll tell you this as I whisper in your ear and say
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 that's 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, 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 then 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
If you always go slow then 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, top of the world
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, 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"
It sounds like a love song but it's 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

You've gotta be kidding me! I'm from Inis Mor! Did you by any chance visit there aswell?

Great song
stumbled on this by accident. love it. and those lyrics. you are so talented!
You and Ed Sheeran would be perfect for each other. Both gingers, both amazing singers! Haha
Love it! :D
I've watched this video so many times with no idea where Inis Mean is, so I'd just been ignoring it. Now I discover that I'm studying a play set on the island?! I am suddenly so much more inspired to pay attention to this play.
ORLA'S BEEN THERE. Heavy breathing.
this song always gives me goosebumps
....I watched this whole video thinking it was a cover & telling myself "Wow, this song is phenomenal, probably one of my new all time favorites. I've got to listen to the original once Orla is done".....and it was hers all along. And it is better than 98% of the songs I have ever heard in my life. Dear God, DOWNLOAD LINK PLEASE
Amazing, your gunna go far
OMG! You are amazing at guitar!!!
evidently not you subscribed a week ago and have had the accound over a year (y)
I'm in love with this song. It's wonderful. Great job :)
this song needs more instruments.. amazing.
The name of this should be "Postcards to Harry"
Marry me? ;P
Amazing as usual!
Original content. Megusta. :-) It sounds great!
Your fingertips must hurt like hell.
you are so amazing and talented i would love to see you singing live in person you have raw talent and your songs have so much meaning and are so catchy how could anyone dislike you
Such energy.
This was posted on my birthday :). Yay
I love how semi pissed off you look in all of your videos.
Just found you... you're so great... :))
Amazing, I've viewed your other videos and you are just generally AMAZING.
omg if a girl wrote a song so beautiful to me i would marry her *-*
you should try idol, it dosn't matter if its american idol or canadian or where ever you want, it thing you would win.
Have you ever been to Clare Island? It's just around the corner and it ROCKSSSS
I'm A Gartliner :) <3
If you are wondering what your sound is, THIS IS IT keep making songs like this!
You inspire me :)
OMG. Loved It!
Never meant to start and now I can't stop. . . :) :D
The background looks like a postcard.
Are you sure that's Ireland? and most importantly the west coast? Whenever I'm over in connemara/ Galway area. In fact, whenever I'm in Ireland it rains. constantly. Summer, Winter, spring and Autumn... hmm...
I think this video/song deserves way more views, any one thinks the same?
Let's share this video everywhere people :D lets get at least 100,000 views its almost there :)
Bonus: 3,000 likes? ;P haha
Going to places like this is all fine and dandy when you're not being drowned by cold rain.
Too bad that's never.
This is the third time I've fallen in love with this.
Mmmmm. This video REALLY makes me want to move to Ireland. Legit.
Postcards? Is this song for BriBry?
i think of so much stuff in my life listening to this song
I was singing this whilst studying for finals, woops.
Inis Meáin really is paradise :)
17 people are just...stupid
I wish there was a love button on this video.
I knew I was going to fall in love with this even before I listened to it. Just because it's Orla and just because I read the lyrics first and they are so beautiful.
LOVE IT! Lots of love from Malaysia!!! :D
I recently wrote a song about something i find hard to say out loud. About someone.. In other words, it's a really personal song. Just like this song of yours. You're just incredible. You write about things which matter. Things you care about. People you find amazing. Keep doing that! I certainly will. Your an inspiration :)
Good job girl..I love your music!! Kiss by Italy!!!!
This is beautiful <3!!!
Amazing please put all your songs on iTunes
girl, you kick ass. this song is SO well written, played, and sung
Your music is beautiful.. lovely compositions, the playing is fantastic, heaps of heart. All the best!
