Kilkelly Lyrics

Cover art for Kilkelly lyrics by Peter Jones

This song is about a man who leaves home to find work. Each verse is a letter from his father to him except for the last one which is from his brother. He is gone from home and neer reurns as life wooshes by at home. His Father dies without seeing him for 40 years i think it was. VERY sad song, I can't listen to it without welling up.

Moral: Keep in touch with your parents, you never know when it will be too late...
