I only have memories of what used to be
Of faces and places i may never more see
Where i was known to many in the long ago
Long before time it did become my foe
In Duhallow just west of the Town of Millstreet
In the green countryside where the waterways meet
Where i would be a stranger to many today
That time with it brings changes does seem true to say
Old memories live in me as a source for joy
Of where i grew to love Nature when i was a boy
Memories of Claraghatlea where my life's journey began
Where i lived for many years and grew into a man
And the old fields i loved and may never walk on again
Only visual memories now with me remain.
