Well its midnight and all my moneys gone.
And I’m trying to dictate in my mind where it all went wrong.
There’s a picture of you hanging on my wall.
And lord I’m waiting for a chance that you might call.
Maybe it’s a sign,
Could it be a crime,
Maybe I’m wasting time in loving you the way I do.
Maybe it’s a sign,
Could it be a crime,
Maybe I’m wasting time in loving you the way I do.
Am I foolish or is this destiny.
Do you really think your getting the best of me?
Is this a nightmare or could be a dream?
Cos this nightlife feels like ecstasy to me.
Maybe it’s a sign,
Could it be a crime,
Maybe I’m wasting time in loving you the way I do.
Maybe it’s a sign,
Could it be a crime,
Maybe I’m wasting time…
Am I holding on to a faded memory?
Of all the times when it was you and me.
Just wishing that you would come to take my hand.
But then its midnight a picture is all I have of you.
Maybe it’s a sign,
Could it be a crime,
Maybe I’m wasting time in loving you the way I do.
Maybe it’s a sign,
Could it be a crime,
Maybe I’m wasting time in loving you the way I do.
Maybe it’s a sign,
Could it be a crime,
Maybe I’m wasting time in loving you the way I do.
Well its midnight and all my moneys gone.

I would firstly like to thank everyone I’ve had the privilege of playing music with over the years.
Thank my parents for my first guitar, my sister Gwen who is the sole reason I picked up guitar & my little sister Leah for singing back to me and putting up with my general croaking from time to time.
To Sarah Shannon, you introduced me to amazing artists that inspired me to write. John Coughlan who was there for me when I needed that extra push to get over the finish line when songwriting. Also thanks to Jason & Chris Roche, Nicky Connolly, Victor Carmen, Richie Flynn, Pa Sull, Pa Williams, Johnny Bongos Horgan, Ernestine Healy, Francis Foley, Duncan O Clerigh, Enda Ormonde, Brian Seymor, Steve Critch, James Ryan, Ivan Nagib, the McGee family, Colaiste an Chraoibhin and all my friends in Cork.
To Kieran Healy for being a legend but had no involvement in this EP whatsoever, Ronan Kealy, Ivan Cooper for playing drums which are now muted for reasons unknown.
Thanks to Aislinn Whelan for supporting me while I made this EP. You helped me out through thick and thin and I am most grateful for that.
Special Thanks must also go to Peter Diffley at SarMar Studios in Limerick. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to record this EP.
Finally, to the institute responsible for this EP…IT Tralee. As this EP was recorded of the back of winning the IT Factor, I find it only right to thank the college for the profound support they have shown me over the past 2 years.
One last thank you to everyone I haven’t mentioned…I simply cannot thank you enough.
