Some Of Them

I know that some of them in Duhallow did stay
And like me the years are showing on them today
And some of them with the deceased now does lay
That time does take it's toll only true to say

Some of them from Duhallow are aging far away
From where they first looked on the bright lamp of day
With only the memories of the what used to be
Until death of nostalgia will set them free

For some our journeys in life took us to Lands elsewhere
To places and towns and cities in the big World out there
And to live in the now is the best one can do
On this respect what applies to me also applies to you

Some of them in Duhallow did choose to remain
And some of them will never see the Boggeraghs again
From their villages and towns they are aging far
And some at peace forever where dead people are.
