These are the things that we do
when we're listening to me and
learning from you and yearning
for some things that will never be
and
we'll never do.

A free faller calls for an air ambulance,
a slim chance of that appearing, but
I am still near to you and
doing things that we do.

Listening to Sinead,
nothing compares to...
...drinking red lemonade down at
Carrick on Shannon,

that was a long time ago.

And I was there at the fair in Kenmare
when the goat got a haircut from
Declan,

who'd believe such a thing could occur?
but it did in Kenmare.
