Since i have not lived in Millstreet for many Seasons and from there i live far away
There i may feel a stranger if i returned to there today
Some i knew there in eternal rest now does lay
And some i knew who are still living in Duhallow are showing time's decay
And some did leave Millstreet for places elsewhere
And are growing old in towns and cities in the big World out there
Suppose it is not hard to understand the reason why
That our links to the past keep on weakening as the years go by
But the old fields in view of Clara would look much the same
Many of them i recall by their given name
Since i left Duhallow many Seasons ago
Time that ages everyone has become my foe
The past now just a memory of the far away
But the now is all that does matter and the now is today.
