Life Is Long
6am, hotel bed drunk and laughin’ our heads off
My Mam, Dad and I
...was hugging Mam was hugging Dad
And when they started snoring
I started to cry, cos
35, 66 and 71 are we
Oh my my, stop the time
What a wonderful memory
(Like my Dad says)
Life is long
But the time is short
Clifden town to Galway bay,
Sunday driving the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’
Overwhelming landscape
Spectacular advancing
We pulled over to stare
Lost in awe and prayer
No goodbyes,
Drink your pint
And I’ll see you in a few short weeks
(Like my Mam says)
Life is long
But the time is short
