On A Phone Call From Michael Kelleher

A phone call from Michael Kelleher never fails to make my day
We talk of our happy younger years and the old Town far away
Where in the school yard in the lunch break with our young friends we did play
Good memories last a lifetime as the wise one does say

Michael Kelleher has happy memories of when he was a boy
And talking of the long gone years is something he does enjoy
Of the boys and girls he grew up with good memories with him does remain
On his many flights of fancy he goes back home again

In Claraghatlea i grew up with Michael Kelleher just west of Millstreet Town
Since then the roadways of life we have been up and down
And doubtless the good man Michael will always be my friend
This is how it will be with us till our lives journeys end

We talk of our old Millstreet friends when we are on the phone
And of the countryside by Clara and Gortavehy with the face of stone
Michael Kelleher will love Millstreet until the day he does die
And he loves the old fields of Claraghatlea and so too do i.
