Kilgarry L

Kilgarry

From your place upon the hill

Where you always lie

And the churches’ eyes look blindly

Are you watching over me

I really wouldn’t mind

For your smile is in the water

And your hands heat’s in the air 

But the feel of you and the warmth you were

Speak of turning worlds and blackened time

And emptiness and pride


Can you see the old man walking

Wreathed in grey as he makes his way

Along the way

The frost of age upon him

And a red four thorned rose

And you look as he approaches

For that ancient thread of fire

But the shaking hands

And the clouded eyes

And the pause before he rises

Speak of turning worlds

And blackened time

And emptiness and pride


Would you like to rise

Would you like to play with time

Would you like to throw the world

Around the other way

Would you like to see him

Walk each cold October day

Would you like to rise

Coz I’m scared of all the years

Would you like to rise
