3 WAY LOVE AFFAIR

by Desmond Kelly

He is Irish, another dyed in the wool “Country Singer” & Songriter, not “as big” in stature as some of his American counterparts, but just as endearing as any other I have seen. The mere fact that he sings Country songs that mean so much, makes him another “entertainer” that went to America as well & became just as popular as some of the “icons” already there.

Personally, I love this song because, together with another few ex-Navy “mates” of mine, I practically “lived” the lyrics of this song which I would recommend to any “Country-Song” lover.

They were known as “affairs” in the old days. They were clandestine affairs, nowadays, they are as common as salt, open affairs that make our “Social Media” very rich indeed.

Just one more little confession on my part, to all my “readers” everywhere. This “stuff” I write is written “on the spur of the moment”, off the top of my balding skull, no “drafts”, no preplanned scripts, absolutely nothing of that sort. No excuses, but sometimes written in haste, SO, DEAR READERS, LITTLE “ERRORS” OCCUR FROM TIME TO TIME. Please excuse these errors. They have not been done on purpose and I beg you to “read between the lines”, especially when I now ,once again , bring you the “story of life” by Irishman “Country-Star” Declan Nerney and his

“THREE-WAY LOVE AFFAIR”

THE ONE I’M WITH, WELL , I DON’T LOVE, BUT SHE WON’T SET ME FREE
THE ONE I WANT, I CAN’T HAVE, AND THAT’S WHAT TORTURES ME
THE ONE I LOVE, HAS SOMEONE, WHO DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE
WON’T SOMEONE HELP ME THROUGH THIS TRAGIC THREE-WAY LOVE AFFAIR?

WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I FELL IN LOVE, I THOUGHT MY LOVE WAS TRUE
BUT WE GOT WED AND SETTLED DOWN, AS LOVERS OFTEN DO
AS WE LIVED OUR LIVES TOGETHER, THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG
NOW I’M RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED, BROKEN-HEARTED, ALL ALONE

IF I KNEW THEN, WHAT I KNOW NOW, I’D BE A WISER MAN
THERE WOULD BE NO MISERY IN THIS CRAZY WORLD OF MINE
SO, WITHOUT THE ONE I REALLY LOVE, THIS PAIN IS HARD TO BEAR
WON’T SOMEONE HELP ME THROUGH THIS TRAGIC THREE-WAY LOVE AFFAIR?

AS I LIE ALONE IN BED EACH NIGHT, I THINK WHAT I CAN DO
IF I COULD ONLY HOLD HER TIGHT, SHE’D KNOW MY LOVE WAS TRUE
I REACH OUT, FOR TO TOUCH HER, ALAS SHE IS’NT THERE
WON’T SOMEONE HELP ME THROUGH THIS TRAGIC THREE-WAY LOVE AFFAIR?

SOMEONE HELP ME THROUGH THIS TRAGIC THREE-WAY LOVE AFFAIR !!.

How true would be these “lyrics”? , how true would be this song?
If you have been “in this same boat”, come on, and sing along
The “story’s” now on “You-Tube”, just check it out and see
If it’s good for Declan Nerney, then it’s good enough for me.!
